As there appeared to be no general meetings called, this action is probably the work of the committee.
One thing that I think you can be pretty sure of is that if the levies raised over the past 8 years were ordinary levies set according to annual budgets, the OC hasn’t a chance of retrospectively applying the “benefit principle” to them.
VCAT has ruled on this, several times I think. The “benefit principle” cannot apply to ordinary levies set by annual budgets.
But what the OC tries to do re future levies remains to be seen. It might try raising more of its income by special levies where the “benefit principle” actually is required to be considered.
I doubt the other hotel lot owners will take this without a fight. And being in the majority, they could get all of this overturned and reversed with enough organisation.
I suspect there will be legal fireworks coming.
