Reply To: Committee ignored Motions submitted to AGM

Hi, thanks Nugalbags, though I disagree with the limitations you suggest. The committee’s role is to make limited decisions during the year as is their function and as directed/limited by the legislation. The AGM motions are for the consideration by all owners and the committee is obliged thereafter to undertake the action of the Motion, should it be approved by the majority of voting owners. Certainly, in Qld Motions put forward before the closing window and invited by the committee are to be included in the AGM as written in but limited to what the legislation says, even when it may involve the committee’s actions or individual members. Otherwise you don’t need think much to realize just what a mafioso cabal committees could quickly become. Talking to the committee first is always ideal, but sometimes they’ve proven themselves inept or unwilling and if so a workaround is sometimes the better way forward.

As an update, it’s been more than a week now that the issue was bought to the attention of the strata manager who has still not responded or acknowledged my complaint though the AGM is scheduled for this coming weekend. As usual, they know which side their bread is buttered and always favor the committee-side regardless of their contractual and legislative obligations.

Thanks for your thoughts. Cheers, C.
