My large Strata in NSW has a somewhat similar situation so we also need to comply with Sect 65A of the Act and pass a resolution at an EGM that is approved by 75% of owners present – in person or by proxy. One of our lot owners is requesting significant alterations to one of her lots – she owns 4 lots within the complex, therefore has 4 votes at any meeting, in regard to any issue.
Whale, would the lot owner’s 4 votes be included in the 75% you mentioned in your previous response or would the owner be excluded from voting on the issue as it would be beneficial to them alone? Despite being a large strata, attendance at meetings is appalling, quorums impossible to achieve for any reason, so 4 votes is significant.
Thanks JimmyT and all for my “daily forum fix.”
