@JimmyT said:There’s no “other business” allowed at NSW general meetings. If it’s not on the agenda, it shouldn’t be discussed and certainly can’t be voted on.
It’s allowed, certainly not only in Victoria. There can’t be a motion/vote on it. But it probably was once one of the most important parts of the AGM. It’s where owners used to raise and discus issues that they thought important.
For me, as an OC chair and committee member of multiple OCs, it’s largely now been replaced by anytime email.

Reading the rest of your post, I think it’s fair to say that the system in Victoria is totally and fundamentally different from NSW and so it’s probably unwise to project what works in one state on to the other.
Although it has many differences, I would not agree that the system in Victoria is “totally and fundamentally different from NSW”.
I think AGMs are still important. It’s when the committee is elected. They seem to be more important in larger OC/BCs.
