Quirky, thanks for your many points.
You wrote “You don’t say if you are an office holder on the strata committee, but only the secretary (or delegated strata manager) has the authority to issue any demand email to the AC installation applicant. Decisions about renovations are made by the strata committee at a properly convened strata committee meeting, and not by individual committee members”. Sorry I was unclear. I am the Sec.
You indicate that ” (I) should have sent that email to the strata manager and strata committee secretary, and request they arrange a strata committee meeting, with the substance of your email as an agenda item. Then the committee could make a decision about sending those demands to the owner asking to install an AC”.
What happens if the committee decides not to require the matters I listed to be addressed by the applicant? That is, no need for plans, no need for proof the installer is insured or qualified and no obligation for the applicant to pay for repairs and maintenance of the A/C? If the majority vote that way, is such a decision legally valid?
The strata mgr decided the matter should go to a EGM. Is that correct? I think your point on “minor renovation” and that the venue for such a decision is a strata committee meeting makes sense.
