What happens if nobody wants to be on the Committee?
Section 100 of the Owners Corporation Act in Victoria says that a scheme of fewer than 13 “may” (as opposed to “must”) elect a committee.
Section 103 of the Act says a committee must have at least three members. You are on your own, which means there is no committee, so you can’t be a committee member, which means you are not the chair.
The item you quoted seems to delegate all the powers of the non-existent committee to the non-existent chair … except for the powers that have been delegated to the strata manager (assuming you have one).
I think you need to tell all the owners that they have created a dangerous situation in which no-one is steering the ship and you aren’t prepared to do so on your own in case you are held responsible for anything and everything that goes wrong.
And if they aren’t prepared to chip in, then they need to pay someone who will take up the slack.
