      Victoria, 42 Apartments.

      We have had no Chairman for 18 months, committee meetings are chaired by the Building Management. With an even number of members there is no casting vote available.

      I read that Committees “must” appoint a Chairman – what stands behind “must” please?

        For VIC:

        Members of the Committee must be lot owners or hold proxies on behalf of lot owners.  That’s Owners Corporations Act 2006 s.103(2).   So persons who are not owners can potentially be Committee members.

        If there is a Committee, there must be an elected chair.  The Chair can be any member of the Committee.  That’s Owners Corporations Act 2006 s.105.

      PLEASE ... If your property is not in NSW, mention its location (state). Don't identify companies or individuals by name. Don't mention or promote your company or services. Keep acronyms and initials to a minimum. Please, don’t use “quote” unless there is a specific point to which you wish to refer, then highlight (define) that specific passage before you click on "quote". Otherwise just use reply. THANKS.
