Hi Willie,
Jimmy reports to the Flat chatter a new resource available via the Strata Community Australia (SCA) website (formerly the Institute of Strata Title Managers).
It is a free training course for people involved inthe managment of their OC.
The following relates to ECs;
As representatives of the Owners Corporation an Executive
Committee’s forum for decision making is at a duly convened meeting. Due notice must be given in accordance with the provisions of the SSM Act and accurate minutes kept of these decisions.
If your issues and approvals are being handled via email without duly formed meetings then the approval may not be valid and the lack of a proper meeting is the real issue.
Fortunately there are no real strata police and you can probably get away with what you are doing even though it is not compliant as long as nothing serious comes of anything you decide or approve.
Drop by the SCA website (HERE) and have a look at the free training; it is fairly extensive and offer a good starting point for those uninitiated in strata.
