    So, confirming is it correct that we only need a majority to approve any proposal’s/motions or requests?

    In this case, a simple majority of people voting at a commitee meeting or a genral meeting is all that’s required.

    There’s only one NSW strata decision that I can think of that requires a unanimous vote, and that is the return of excess funds to the owners.

    Even selling your block to developers only requires 75 percent.

    And to be clear, a decision to pursue repairs etc only requires a majority of owners voting at a meeting, NOT a majority of all owners in the block.

    Anything that requires a special resolution – like a by-law, for instance – needs a 75 per cent vote in favour, calculated by unit entitlements, again from those present in person or by proxy.
