Re: Can/should an OC be involved in neighbourhood issues?

If OC committees can and should be involved in neighbourhood issues, it’s how they can do that that’s also my question.

Can a committee, without even consulting all owners, say to the council that it legally represents all OC owners on a neighbourhood issue?  Because that’s what’s being proposed.  And if it can, where is the line drawn on the types of matters (local, state, federal) a committee alone can decide on behalf of the OC?  Is it purely at the committee’s discretion?

@Sir Humphrey said:

… the ACT. Here, in the absence of a general meeting resolution directing it, the executive committee “exercises the functions of the Owners Corporation as it considers appropriate”

Thanks Sir Humphrey.  That’s the sort of reference I’m looking for.  I’m a strata owner in the ACT as well.  But just above that, in the Unit Titles (Management) Act 2011, is a list of committee functions.  It’s pretty clear to me that there are considerable limitations.  And Part 3 Functions of owners corporations lists exactly what an OC’s functions are that committee can exercise.  Again they are quite limited.

At the upcoming committee meeting I think I’ll propose that if agreed, the committee makes all owners aware of the neighbourhood issues.  And if enough committee members feel concerned enough, that they form a group with other owners and neighbours to approach the council.
