Technically, most SMs can take direction from anyone in the OC. That’s because most SMs are delegated the authority to act for the OC, excluding matters that need special or unanimous resolutions, in their Contract of Appointment which is confirmed at each AGM (Delegation of Authority). So check your SM’s contract and AGM minutes. There can be further restrictions added.

Realistically an SM, even with authority, should judge the issue and the relationship they have with both the committee and the committee member giving the instruction. They might use their discretion in straight forward matters but require a full committee decision in other matters.

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.
