    A resolution of the OC can’t override the Act, so to the extent that a resolution purports to cut across the requirements of section 36(3), it has no effect.

    In other words – if the Act requires payments to a Committee member to be approved retrospectively by the owners in a general meeting, then that is what has to be done.

    I suggest you go to the strata manager and ask him/her why they believe it is ok to make payments to the Committee member when the Act requires approval of the payments by the owners in a general meeting. The minutes of any meeting are irrelevant.,

    The strata education issue is slightly different, as it could be characterised as reimbursement of expenses. However, you could ask for details of the “education”, and query how that relates to the person’s role as a Committee member and whether it is necessary.
