There is nothing in the SSMA or Regulations about how old a person needs to be to be on an EC or to be a proxy?

If there are rules then they are contained elsewhere in other laws.

Does anyone know if there are age limits to be a proxy or an EC member?

I think the MINORS (PROPERTY AND CONTRACTS) ACT 1970 covers this – but I'm not a lawyer so it's all just words to me.

However, any Owners Corporation that allows an under-18 to be a voting member of its EC deserves whatever it gets. There are some super-smart kids out there who may be property owners … but, to paraphrase the Beastie Boys, let them fight for the right to participate.

PLEASE ... If your property is not in NSW, mention its location (state). Don't identify companies or individuals by name. Don't mention or promote your company or services. Keep acronyms and initials to a minimum. Please, don’t use “quote” unless there is a specific point to which you wish to refer, then highlight (define) that specific passage before you click on "quote". Otherwise just use reply. THANKS.
