Re: Chairing an AGM

Many thanks to you too scotlandx. Your reply confirms my ideas. While I’m new to strata affairs, I have been a fan of this forum for sometime through SMH & of course I have been doing some reading since we bought this house last year. My impression of our strata managing company is that it acts as though it employs us & I have personally found them very offhand during phone conversations. My readings of both the relevant act & this forum lead me to believe the SM carries out the clerical duties reasonably well, but is uninformative, uninterested & frequently unresponsive. It also seems to foster disharmony, which is probably intended to keep the owners uninvolved, allowing it to control the complex without any pesky interruptions by the owners (read “supplicants”).

Meanwhile, the AGM notices & yearly accounts etc have been issued appropriately, although in half A4 size booklet form, with the resultant print in a rather small size (in a complex with a large proportion of retirees). For those who might be interested, I will post again after the AGM. Wish me luck.
