    I know that unfinancial lots can’t vote at general meetings except for matters requiring unanimity but committee meetings are different. 

    Not so. Schedule 2, Part 3, Section 9 (4) of the Act says this:

    Voting rights cannot be exercised if contributions not paid

    A member of the strata committee is not entitled to vote on any motion put or proposed to be put to the strata committee if the member was, or was nominated as a member by a member who was, an unfinancial owner of a lot in the strata scheme at the date notice of the meeting was given and the amounts owed by the unfinancial owner were not paid before the meeting. 

    Seems pretty clear to me. Also significantly, that unfinancial member can’t be counted in terms of the quorum, either.
