Propose at your next committee meeting that, in order to ensure that all the requirements of the Act are satisfied, the committee adds a line for the name and lot number of the proposer to the bottom of the nomination form.
Plus you want a note added at the bottom of the form that says something like:
In the interest of ensuring all members are validly elected and to avoid disputes in the future, under Section 31 and 32 of the Strata Schemes Management Act 2015, the following may not be elected to the committee:
1. An owner who was not financial at the time the meeting was announced who has not paid their levies in full before the start of the meeting. Cheques presented at the meeting are not acceptable.
2. A rental agent or building manager who operates in the strata scheme and who is not an owner.
3. A person connected by business or related to the developer unless they declare this to the meeting before the election.
4. More than one co-owner of a lot
Furthermore, the following restrictions on nominations apply:
a. A lot owner may not nominate more than one person, unless they are the owner of more than one lot.
b. The co-owner of a lot may not nominate themselves and must be nominated by another lot owner or by a co-owner who is not standing for election.
c. Subject to the restrictions above, a non-owner may be nominated provided the proposer is not standing for election.
