Would you happen to know if the EC can remove the chairman and strata manager despite having less voices than the Chairman?
The committee can remove the chair from their office (but not the committee) with a simple majority vote at the committee. Remember, the chair may not use proxies or powers of attorney at the committee (although they may have cronies on the committee). It’s one committee member one vote.
Currently, you need a special resolution (75 per cent vote in favour) at a general meeting to remove a member from the committee but the upcoming law changes will reduce that to a simple majority. Also, the new regs will prevent a sacked committee member for returning to the committee for a year.
Again, under the new laws a committee can be re-elected at any general meeting and, as mentioned before, PoAs will be limited in the same way as proxies.
On that note, how many lots are in your block?
