We are often asked about how many people should be on an executive committee and whether a husband and wife (co-owners) can both be on an executive committee. The answer is –
1. It is better that an executive committee has an odd number so that there are no deadlocks in voting.
2. An executive committee should not have more than nine members. (Schedule 3, Clause 2 (2) of the SSMA)
3. Anyone can be nominated by an owner as a member of an executive committee. (Schedule 3, Clause 2 (4) of the SSMA).
4. Co-owners can both be nominated as candidates for office, however both co-owners must be nominated by another owner of a lot. (Schedule 3, Clause 2 (5) of the SSMA). However, this is often discouraged as conflicts arise when two or more co-owners of the same lot are members of the executive committee.
