    Flametree – It is good that the Committee have listened to your concerns and are acting on some of them.

    From memory you are in QLD – is that correct?

    If you want something done in a particular way then it would probably be wise for you to independently obtain the quotes to undertake the work that you want and submit a Motion including the quote(s) for inclusion at the next general meeting. This will by-pass the Committee and its ‘negativity’. All of the owners in the body corp can then decide.

    If you want landscaping done in a planned way then seek a quote from a landscaper(s) who will formulate a landscape plan that you then submit to the body corporate in a Motion. The plan could be implemented in a phased way if that is what is required and approved.

    Each separate issue will require its own Motion.

    If the Major Spending Limit for your scheme is set at $10,000.00 (which most in QLD are, unless this has be increased at a general meeting) and the cost of the works is greater than $10,000 (inclusive of GST) then you will need to obtain 2 quotes for your Motion(s).

    This doesn’t guarantee that your ideas will be approved however as the lot owners may not resolve to undertake the work, regardless of your efforts.
