In response to your questions:
1) & 2) – Any proposal to amend a By-Law or to register a new one (actually a Special By-Law) has to be put as a Motion on the Agenda of a General Meeting of the Owners Corporation, where ≥75% of those Owners in attendance both personally and by proxy must vote in favour in order for the “special resolution” to pass, with that percentage being determined from the sum units of entitlement (UOE) of those voting in favour and the aggregate UOE of the Plan.
3) The Strata Manager can, with the authorisation of the E/C Secretary (but not otherwise), complete and lodge the Form for Registration of a Special By-Law, and depending upon the delegations given to them under their Strata Management Agency Agreement with the Owners Corporation, they can also place the Corporate Seal of the O/C on that paperwork as required.
By the way, the Fee prescribed by NSW Land & Property Information for Registering a Special By-Law (SBL) is $104.50, and the the associated paperwork requires information on the date that the relevant Motion of the General Meeting to approve that SBL was resolved.
