    There is an alternative to waiting until the April 2017 AGM to have your Motion raised. You can write to the Secretary and request an earlier additional General Meeting (i.e. an EGM). However, the Secretary may require that you need the support of other Lot owners to call an additional general meeting (see the qualifications in s19(4)). 

    Section 19 Other general meetings

     

    (1) The secretary or a strata committee of an owners corporation may convene a general meeting (that is not an annual general meeting) of the owners corporation at any time.

    (2) The secretary of the owners corporation, or another officer if the secretary is absent, must convene a general meeting (that is not an annual general meeting) of the owners corporation as soon as practicable, and not later than 14 days after, receiving a qualified request.

    (3) A meeting may be convened on a qualified request even if the first annual general meeting has not been held.

    (4) A request is a
    “qualified request” for the purposes of this section if it is made by one or more owners of a lot or lots in the strata scheme having a total unit entitlement of at least one-quarter of the aggregate unit entitlements.

     Meeting procedures and voting are described in Schedule 1 of the SSMA (2015).
