I think the strata manager made the correct decision. The number of owners that comprise the strata committee is set out in section 30 of the Strata Schemes Management Act, which states “s.30(1) The strata committee of an owners corporation is to consist of the number of persons determined by the owners corporation…” At your AGM the motion to set this number at 3 failed, and to set this number at 6 failed. As Jimmy T points out, a tied vote is a failed vote. But your owners corporation had previously set the number at 3 at your last year’s AGM, so that number prevails. The SCM Act does not require the number to be reset at each year’s AGM, but allow the owners corporation to do so if they wish.
