Our EC is deliberately delaying our AGM because they know they are all going to be voted out of office.  

I know it’s possible to requisition an EGM, but what can the rest of our OC do to force the AGM? 

Thanks in advance for advice.

Under the Strata Schemes Management Act 1996, Schedule 2, Part 2, Clause 31 (1) (a), an annual general meeting of an owners corporation must be held in each year on a date not earlier than one month before and not later than one month after each anniversary of the first annual general meeting.

So that is very clear, one month either side of the anniversary of the first annual general meeting. Maybe if this were pointed out to the members of the EC, they would act. Not sure what penalty would apply to the members of the EC or to the OC for non-compliance.

Thanks Paddy 37… appreciate that.  Our strata is 35 years old… and record keeping is poor.  It’s gonna be hard to determine when the first agm was held.

That is often hard to determine.  Take when your meeting was held last year, if it is more than a month after that date this year, then in all likelihood they are not in compliance with the Act.

AGMs are usually held at around the same time each year, because otherwise they wouldn’t meet the requirements.  Of course in some cases it can get seriously out of whack, but as a starting point use the date of the meeting last year.
