1. Any owner is entitled to attend a meeting – of course it is a bit difficult if it is being held by paper resolution.
2. I am not sure what time the manager put the notice up, but 72 hours notice has to be given, so the decision can’t be made until 72 hours after the notice was given – that means if notice was given at 2pm Friday, the work couldn’t possibly start until after 2pm on Monday.
3. Refer below from Schedule 3 of the Act re how to stop an EC making a decision – you need at least three other owners (note this is calculated by unit entitlement) to agree with your concerns, and give notice in writing to the Secretary and Strata Manager, that you oppose it and it cannot proceed.
11 Decisions of executive committee
(2) A decision of an executive committee has no force or effect if, before that decision is made, notice in writing is given to the secretary of the executive committee by one or more owners, the sum of whose unit entitlements exceeds one-third of the aggregate unit entitlement, that the making of the decision is opposed by those owners.
