G'day “strugs” — most Strata Managers (SM) uses the standard form of Strata Community Australia Agreement (formally the ISTM), where even if the Term of that Agreement has / is about to expire as of the date of your Plan's AGM, it automatically renews unless your O/C has given them either:
- prior written notice of a Breach of the Agreement that they haven't rectified, or ..
- a minimum three (3) months written notice of your decision to Terminate on the expiry date.
As the Agenda for your AGM has already been issued with that standard item about the appointment of a SM, why not slightly amend that at the Meeting to the extent of including a vote to give the SM the prescribed Notice of Termination to take effect a min. 3 months later, during which time you can look around, get some proposals, select a new SM, and put that to an EGM?
