About 7 months ago the then Executive Committee (NSW) had 2 members who after being advised that they were not conducting their activities in accordance to the Act, i.e. holding meetings (none for several years) + no Notice Board and no By-Laws available for viewing, decided that they would change practice and comply. (The units were constructed in 1975).
The last AGM an additional 5 Owners was elected to the EC, and the previous EC members were elected Chairperson / Secretary and Treasurer.
One new EC member was given a notice prior to his election that he had to remove his trailer from the Common Resident Parking bays, (no allotted locations – can park if vacant) – no specific reason given. When we compare the By-Laws that have been posted on the Notice Board, we noted many additions compared to the Model By-Laws (Schedule 2). We asked how come as no By-Law amendments have ever been passed. Reply was that the EC can add clarification to the By-Laws and that is what is on the Notice Board.
Clearly that is not correct, particularly as Vehicles is now 5 sections Vs 1 in Model By Laws. Some other matters are similar.
Second problem was that the New EC (with the agreement of Strata Mgr) after last AGM passed a Code of Conduct for all EC members (required to sign agreement to code). We believe this is not correct and believe only OC at a GM can do so with it needling to be a new By-Law. Same EC Member declines to sign and is told he is no longer an EC Member if he does not sign. He does not believe this is the case and is willing to stand up but how to proceed.
We also noted on looking at previous AGM Minutes Strata Mgr has previously conducted had 2 meetings with those present being less than 25% of Owners required (no Quorum).
Any suggestions on how to deal with this problem.
