“The agenda item is very vague.”
Clause 7 Schedule 2 of the NSW Act: “The notice of a meeting must include a detailed agenda for the (Strata Committee) meeting.”
The Macquarie Dictionary defines the word “agenda” as meaning “a list of matters to be brought before a committee, council, board, etc., as things to be done” (maybe dot points) but goes on to define “detailed” as meaning “itemised in every particular: a detailed description.”
A detailed agenda clearly requires a lot more than than a mere agenda and an agenda item which is very vague may not comply with the Act.
In the absence of an opportunity for discussion and amendment of the motion proposed in the Agenda, the Strata Committee can only vote in favour of or against the motion set out in the Agenda. A vague (not detailed) Agenda item can only result in a resolution which is equally vague, perhaps to the extent of being meaningless and/or ineffective.
