Just to add my two cents worth, Susan has lost the vote but perhaps not the battle. She and the other dissenting members probably have the numbers to call for a new general meeting (one quarter of unit entitlements) to force a discussion about whether or not a special levy is required. They could get a strata loan, for instance.
However, this time, they would be advised to hoover up any proxies they can get among those similarly alarmed by an $8k special levy.
Having said that, the Owners Corp has a legal responsibility to maintain and repair and this is exactly what happens if previous owners haven’t been putting aside money in the sinking fund.
