    Items 8,9 and 10 of Schedule 1 of the strata Act cover this in different ways.

    8 Matters that must be included in notice of general meetings

    (1) The following matters must be included in, or accompany, the notice given of all general meetings:

    (f) a statement that an unfinancial owner, mortgagee or covenant chargee cannot vote at a meeting on a motion (other than a motion requiring a unanimous resolution) unless payment has been made before the meeting of all contributions levied on the owner, and any other amounts recoverable from the owner, in relation to the lot,

    9 Additional matters to be included in notice of AGM

    The following matters must also be included in, or accompany, the notice given of annual general meetings:

    (a) a copy of the last statements of key financial information for the administrative fund, the capital works fund and any other fund prepared by the owners corporation and any relevant auditor’s report,

    and

    (h) a form of motion to decide how to deal with any overdue contributions payable to the owners corporation,

    10 Financial statements to be provided on request

    (1) The owners corporation must, at the request of an owner or a mortgagee or covenant chargee of a lot, give to the owner, mortgagee or covenant chargee a copy of the last financial statements prepared for the administrative fund, the capital works fund and any other fund of the owners corporation by the owners corporation at least 2 days before the meeting at which the statements are to be presented.

    (2) This Schedule does not prevent the owners corporation from determining that a copy of the last financial statements prepared for the administrative fund, the capital works fund or other fund is to be included in, or to accompany, the notice of an annual general meeting.

    But apart from all that, as a contributing member of the Owners Corporation, you are entitled to see any correspondence or documentation that affects you, directly or indirectly.

    Even legal decisions invoving the strata scheme  that have been “sealed” from public view have to be made available to lot owners because they are party to the legal action and aren’t merely members of the public.
