Our building has a shared facility administered by Building management committee(BMC).

the BMC is made up of three members, residential lot, retail lot and a top floor owner(not subdividend stratum). I’m one of the owner in the residential lot.

the residential lot pays 90%of BMC expenses

we have a Strata Managment Statement(SMS) seething our rules for the BMC.

the SMS was revealed to us 3 years after the building was built. The SMS was prepared by developer’s solicitor. Every year every member elects their BMC representative. One of the clause of the SMS states ‘anything done by the BMC representative has the same effect as if it’s done by he member’. Then our SM(appointed by developer originally) took advantage of this clause, he put a motion in the BMC meeting and let our BMC rep vote in favor of a part time manager(remuneration $60k plus GST for 20 hours a week. Contract term for one year and auto renewable for 3 year after the first term expiry). The SM did not put in a motion in residential lot to let us vote. Also, the contract signed was revealed after it’s auto renewed.

i think the BMC mechanism was misused by SM and it’s unethical to do this. Any one has any thoughts on the issue?
