You are in NSW. So just too give you the NSW perspective…
Following on from Jimmy’s advice you do indeed need to call a General Meeting to establish a new committee.
You are presumably secretary but just in case there was an irregularity in the way you were appointed. ??? , best if 25% of owners ( by unit entitlement) requisition a General Meeting – now you have allies getting the signature of 2 others as well as yourself to make this qualified request should not be a problem.
You are certainly entitled to the contact details of other owners and armed with these you could send out an agenda notice to all the Owners. Otherwise you can ask the SM to do it, but they will probably charge the OC extra.
Remenber you need
- To resign your position (otherwise there has be to a special resolution to “spill” you from your committee of one !
- A Motion to determine the number of members on the committee – Jimmy suggests 3 is an effective number for decision making
- A Motion to call for nominations and elect a Committee
Maybe your new committee can get better value out of your strata manager as Magpie suggests.
Good luck
