    I understand that the number of members of the strata committee is dictated at the AGM by the number of eligible persons willing to stand. We currently have 4.

    No, the chair calls for nominations then the owners at the meeting vote on the number of people they want to be on it, with a minimum of one and maximum of nine. If they decide on a committee with fewer seats than there are nominees, they hold an election.

    Can we increase the number of members via an OC meeting putting forward new nominees or do we have to wait until the next AGM?

    No.  But you could hold an extraordinary general meeting then follow the procedure laid out in Part 2 of Schedule 1 of the Strata Act, if only on the grounds that you have been doing it wrong until now (if that’s the case) and you were putting things right..
