    Chesa – a Special Resolution is required for your Owners Corporation (O/C) to consent to the upgrade works, where ≥75% of those Owners in attendance, both personally and by proxy, at the General Meeting need to be in favour in order for the Motion to pass.

    That percentage is calculated on the basis of the sum Lot Units of Entitlement (LUOE) of those at the Meeting who vote in favour, and the sum LUOE of all those in attendance (i.e. a “poll vote”).

    The relevant section of the NSW Strata Schemes Management Act is 65A, which in part states, at clause (1):

    For the purpose of improving or enhancing the common property, an owners corporation or an owner of a lot may take any of the following actions, but only if a special resolution has first been passed at a general meeting of the owners corporation that specifically authorises the taking of the particular action proposed:

    (a) add to the common property,

    (b) alter the common property,

    (c) erect a new structure on the common property.

    By the way, if the proposed change of use for the building eventuates, it would be prudent to discuss that (change) with your Strata Insurer.
