    It sounds like you are saying that you just want the committee to have a bit of a chat on the phone or via email and come to a decision and move on.  

    If that’s the case, that strata manager is mostly right.

    Critical issues like appointing insurers and spending sums like $10,000 should at least be on an agenda and minutes and leave a paper trail.  

    According to this factsheet you can vote in writing provided notice of the items being discussed has been given.  You can also elect to have meetings and votes electronically.  

    Obviously there is more leeway in emergencies but how many issues are so urgent that you can’t send all your owners an agenda a few days in advance?

    Also, your strata managers should be allowed a certain level of delegated powers to avoid unnecessary delays or meetings being called.
