No – the Strata Committee cannot make decisions like that without a formal meeting. That is – there needs to be a notice of a Committee that meets the requirements in the Act, with an agenda including any proposed resolutions and any information relating to those resolutions.
A key element in the requirements relating to notice and having an agenda is that owners can object to a proposed resolution of the Committee, if one third of the owners give notice to the Secretary of their objection to a proposed resolution, that resolution has no force or effect.
More generally, a “decision” of the Committee outside of a properly convened meeting is not a “decision” of the Committee and in legal terms has no effect.
Winston – the kind of decisions you describe need to be the subject of the correct processes. The only time a Committee should act outside the usual meeting process is for very minor matters – for example our Committee can spend up to $500 without having a meeting.
kaindub – whatever powers may be delegated to the Committee is irrelevant if the Committee is not making decisions as required by the Act.
