It sounds to me that this will not stop caretakers/building managers who are owners being on the committee so in John T’s situation you would not be disadvantaged. I would add that a good building manager should not need to be on the EC to give good advice. In fact you should expect them to attend your meetings regardless to assist you in making good decisions.
Although we need to wait until we see the nitty-gritty of the legislation, I’m not sure that caretaker-owners and their ilk won’t be banned. The affected person can still exercise their democratic rights via general meetings.
In any case, there are plenty of ECs where building managers, caretakers and strata managers attend, offer advice and participate in discussions without having a vote. That would be the ideal model for me.
Don’t forget we are also about to have non-voting tenants on committees so those tables are starting to get a bit cramped.
