    Thanks for the responses – good to know I’m not the only one recognizing what a significant change this would mean, and thinking this will require (at least) a special resolution of the OC. I can’t see how anyone could consider this wasn’t a change of use (otherwise a DA wouldn’t be required) and this did not mean a change to common property (referred to in the Act).

    Aside from paying for legal advice, what would you take to an EGM to justify the claim that a special resolution is required?  Particularly given the motion will not be flagged by the Sec as requiring a special resolution (SR) when the agenda is circulated?

    If two motions to submit a DA to Council (for consent to operate serviced apartments) were to appear on the agenda, one not a SR which was successful, and other (the same motion) – labeled requiring a SR, failed?  Where does the motion stand?
