The question of improperly announced meetings is less significant than the decisions that are made in them.
Nevertheless, there is a system prescribed by the Act that is there for a reason, mainly so that everyone knows what’s going on and can contribute or object if they wish.
In the case of the above “improper” meeting, I would be tempted to write to the committee members and strata managers, and say something like this:
In view of the fact that last month’s meeting was held without due notice or a published agenda as required by the Strata Schemes Management Act of 2015, any decisions made should be considered null and void.
In future, I would ask the secretary (and strata manager) to ensure that the meetings are properly announced, agendas distributed and proper minutes issued, under the terms of the Act, so that all owners have the opportunity to attend and observe, if they so wish, and that we know what is being discussed about our buildings and can respond accordingly.
Apart from being good management, this will obviate the need for expensive, time consuming and disruptive challenges at NCAT when significant decisions have been made at improperly conducted meetings.
I also call on the committee to inform the owners that such oversights will not be repeated in future.
