    So you have to make your case in the agenda, by submitting a detailed motion to the SC. Then at the meeting, make your case and vote in favour.

    Good idea but the secretary is not legally obliged to include any owner’s motion on the agenda of a strata committee meeting, and the chair is not obliged to allow owners to speak at the meeting unless  a majority on the committee vote otherwise.  If, as in the OP’s case, the owner is “at loggerheads” with the committee and its officers, that may make any such approach futile.  You can’t get turkeys to vote for Christmas. The situation for strata general meetings is different – the secretary IS obliged to include any motions and explanatory material (with a limit of 300 words) but the chair can rule the motion out of order, an action which should be recorded.
