Strata Plan A unit entitlement in community association 45%. StrataPlan B unit entitlement in community association 25%. Strata Plan C unit entitlement in community association 15 %. Strata Plan C unit entitlement in community association 15%
The 4 community association committee members are also the primary proxy holders for the strata plans so they can also vote on behalf of their strata plan at community association general meetings.
The current secretary of the CA represents Strata Plan A. They are using the 45% unit entitlement of strata plan A (on the basis they are the duly nominated proxy) to object to the CA making a decision to vacate them from the secretary role.
We can only assume either the strata managing agent for building A (which is a different company to the one managing the community association) or a strata lawyer who they may have consulted has provided them with the advice on how to use this part of the act to seek their desired outcome. The secretary claims they are acting on behalf of their strata committee (building A) by making the objection to a decision being made by the CA to remove them as secretary.
I have asked numerous strata managers whom I know for their opinion on this clause, and it certainly appears to be open to the interpretation in which it has been used in this situation.
