    I was unaware of the protocol in posting.

    It’s all here and has been for some time: https://www.flatchat.com.au/topic/how-to-post-a-question-or-answer-2/

    I understand that owners are entitled to see all created minutes. But what if the SC decided to spend money on R&M (as the agent told me) but chose not to create a document ie.e not to minute that decision – the meeting was said to have been a phone call – can an owner insist on the decision be minuted and then ask to see it?

    Any money spent that doesn’t have some sort of paper trail – either a committee minute or an email to the strata manager or similar – would have to be very suspicious. The committee should have had the item about spending OC funds on an agenda and then recorded the decision in minutes.

    You can ask the secretary to provide you with a record of the decision that was made, including details of where they are getting quotes for the work.

    Maybe they were trying to fast-track the work because of your actions at NCAT.  Maybe they are deliberately trying to obscure the fact that they haven’t actually done anything.  Who’s to say?
