Owners are not forbidden from attending strata committee meetings in Victoria but there is no statutory requirement to inform owners that there is going to be a strata committee meeting.
This is unlike NSW where owners must be informed about the meeting and have the right to attend. However, they can only speak if allowed to do so by a vote of the committee.
Under Section 109 of Victoria’s Owners Corporation Act, only committee members have to be informed. Thus, without saying it in so many words, the committee would have to inform ordinary owners about the meeting only if they wanted them to attend.
