    Is our strata agents just lying to us so they can collect the $900 for every extra general meeting we hold? Or is the QLD strata laws just that rediculous.

    Have a look here at this Qld government web page;  the standard limit on works not requiring general meeting approval is $200 per unit.

    The relevant limit for committee spending (i.e. how much money a committee can spend) can be set by ordinary resolution of the body corporate (i.e. a motion voted on by the owners at a general meeting). There is no minimum or maximum limit that the body corporate can set.

    If no amount is set by a general meeting resolution the relevant limit is calculated by multiplying the number of lots in the scheme by $200.

    So, to save that $900 every time you want to approve repairs, just set a reasonably high limit at your next AGM. The $900 fee for running an AGM for 15  units seems a bit on the high side IMHO.  Do you really need them to be involved at all?
