You refer to “Strata Manager / Chairman”.
Is this the same person?
Do you have an external Strata Manager?
Scotlandx is correct … whilst the Act requires EC minutes to be put on the noticeboard within 7 days, there is no requirement for GM minutes to be distributed until the notice of the next GM.
This is probably something the Strata Review will fix, but who know when that will happen … certainly not by March 2013 as promised.
Your Strata Manager is sh*t. A good SM will distribute the (draft) minutes within 7-10 days of the meeting, even though the Act doesn’t (yet) require it.
So, what can you do?
1) Inspect the strata records. Small cost, $30. Minutes must be made available.
2) Get 25% of owners (10+ in your case) to request an EGM. The minutes of the last GM must be attached to the Notice of Meeting for the requested EGM.
3) Of course you must submit a motion to be voted on at the EGM. How about “That the Owners Corporation resolve to erect a flag pole on the common property”. No wait, the meeting might just vote yes. How about “That the Owners Corporation resolve that red is a nicer colour than blue”. Who cares if you lose, you get to see the minutes. Who cares if the Chairman rules the motion “out of order” as frivolous, the meeting must be called, and you get to see the minutes.
