It’s similar but not exactly the same in Victoria,
Just to note that it’s actually quite different in Victoria.
A Special Resolution in Victoria requires 75% of the total votes for all the lots affected by the owners corporation. Or 50% for and not more than 25% against for it to be an Interim Special Resolution.
That’s “all the lots affected by the owners corporation”, not just of the lot owners who turned up at an OC meeting.
In larger OCs in Victoria a Special Resolution is almost mission impossible. One of my OC’s with almost 200 lots hasn’t manged to pass a Special Resolution in all its 17 years of existence. Owner apathy I’m afraid.
