As the maximum size for a Strata Committee is 9 members, and this family own 6 lots, they will be in the majority even if the Strata Committee is enlarged.
Special resolutions may not pass if the subject involves expenditure and the investor owners are averse to spending money. Otherwise it seems a grim path to NCAT to obtain orders for repairs and maintenance each time “this family” do not wish the works to take place.
The use of the word “upgrade” alerts me to a problem which I have encountered, where owners do not appreciate the difference between the Owners Corporation duty to maintain and repair common property, and it’s power to improve common property.
