Can you get yourself onto the Committee at the AGM? It might be easier for you to change things from ‘within’.
Are you planning on attending the AGM?
Do your committee know how to use the internet? If they don’t can I suggest that you ask the Strata Manager to provide some photocopied “Strata Living – Get Involved” booklets (48 pages) from the site below which explains how strata works, and also Schedules 1 and 2 from the SSMA 2015:

You can nominate yourself for the Committee at the AGM by going through the steps in [s5(5)] Schedule 1 SSMA 2015 outlined below:
5 Nomination of candidates for election prior to meeting
(1) The written notice of an annual general meeting is to include a call for nominations for members of the strata committee at least 7 days before the annual general meeting of an owners corporation.
(2) Any owner, or any person entitled to vote at a general meeting of an owners corporation, may nominate a person for election as a member of the strata committee.
(3) The nomination is to be made by written notice given to the secretary of the owners corporation or, in the case of the first annual general meeting, to the convenor of the meeting, that states the name of:
(a) the person nominated, and
(b) the person making the nomination and that the person nominated consents to the nomination.
(4) The secretary must include the nomination in the notice of the meeting at which the election is to take place. Notice of any subsequent nomination is to be given by the secretary at the meeting.
(5) A nomination may be made at any time before the election is held and may be made at the meeting.
(6) An owner or a person may make a nomination even if the owner or person cannot vote because the owner is an unfinancial owner.
You can request another General Meeting to vote on your Common Property repair Motions at any time if you can encourage 25% of your owners to support your request. If you are able to attend the General Meeting and speak at the General Meeting then you could perhaps gain your required support to call another General Meeting at that time. I would advise you to obtain quotes and submit your Motions as quickly as possible. You may be able to use the previously acquired quotes if they are still current.
