    To anser your questions in order,

    1. 51 percent approval is enough

    2. The developer's vote is reducded to one third of his voting power until after he has sold 50 percent of the properties.  He may have more votes by dint of owning more properties than those who oppose him but there is no casting vote per se in strata – and that includes the chair of the Executive Committee.

    3.  Generally yes, I think, unless something is moved as an valid amendment to something that's on the agenda

    4. Yes, you do.  Make sure you have the addresses of all owners including absentee investor owners before you do this – the agent could find a million and one ways of not letting you have them once he knows you are planning to sack him.
