Unlike in Victoria, there is no obligation here to respond to correspondence, except to note it's receipt and file it. The way to get this issue addressed is to put a motion to the next Executive Committee meeting to have them examine the issue and suggest remedies. They can't refuse to put a motion on the agenda (unless it's decreed to be 'incompetent' by the chair – which puts them in the position of having to justify such a decision).
Failing that, raise it as a motion at your next AGM and make sure you have a seconder. You don't need to be suggesting solutions but you should ask that the matter be addressed and a response formulated by a certain date.
Hi Jimmy,
Your answer to Kate relates to a situation currently within our strata. An individual owner has requested that the Executive Committee call an EC meeting within a specified time frame and add several motions to the agenda. My question is must the owner hold a certain number of unit entitlements to be able to request this and can they do so if they have levies which have have not been paid?
Many Thanks
Sophie
