Thanks a lot for all your comments! I want to ask another question RE the AGM itself. Usually it is conducted late in the year, but this year, under such circumstances (lockdown, etc), it was scheduled way ahead of time, in less than 10 days’ time. I was a little surprised. Today the owners received an email from the strata manager asking us to update our contact details according to The Public Health (COVID-19 Self-Isolation) Order (No 3) 2021, commenced on 28/09:
https://legislation.nsw.gov.au/information/covid19-legislation/self-isolation
On the above website, there are many such orders and we were just notified to update strata rolls now, when NSW is going to reopen. This makes very suspicious of the motives of the strata manager and the strata committee.
Here I should mention an issue in the strata committee. Currently there are only 2 members in the committee. We are a small scheme, fewer than 15 owners. Most owners are investors and usually don’t attend AGM. So basically they decide everything. I tried to join the committee last year, but the committee and the strata manager used some excuse to exclude out of it, since I was new to the strata and strata rules. I want to talk to other owners, but it was nearly impossible to obtain other owners’ contact details.
According to the above Public Health (COVID-19 Self-Isolation) Order (No 3) 2021, it seems that every owner should have each other’s contact details during the pandemic. Am I right? But we haven’t been told to update contact details during the worst time of the pandemic. Now we were asked to do so, and in such a short notice to have our AGM.
So now I want to request the AGM to be scheduled at a later date, since the notice is very short as I mentioned above. I want to ask how to deal with this urgent issue. I will email to request rescheduling, but my guess is they will ignore my request and just go ahead.
