The Act allows the OC to delegate certain powers to the committee and/or the strata manager. But it also specifies certain issues that may only be determined at a general meeting. And it says a committee MUST be formed but says in the absence of one, there is nothing to prevent a strata manager from exercising delegated powers.
(1) An owners corporation must appoint a strata committee of the owners corporation in accordance with this Act.
(2) The owners corporation may appoint the strata committee before the first annual general meeting of the owners corporation.
(3) The members of the strata committee must be elected at the first annual general meeting of the owners corporation whether or not members were appointed before that meeting.
(4) If there is no strata committee of an owners corporation, the strata scheme must be administered by the owners corporation, but nothing in this subsection prevents a strata managing agent appointed under this Act from exercising any functions conferred on the agent.
