Hello,
Following in a similar theme from this previous issue:
@Whale said:
….and just to clarify, if the Owners Corporation of simone42 ‘s 33 Lot Plan is not required by its By-Laws to have a Notice Board or if for some other reason it doesn’t have one, then the Agenda for Executive Committee Meetings must be provided to each Owner at least 72 hours beforehand, and the Minutes of such Meetings must be similarly provided within 7 days of their conclusion.Reference: NSW Strata Schemes Management Act / Schedule 3 / Clauses 6(2) and 16(3).
I’m located in the ACT and have a similar issue of not being notified regarding minutes. It seems a decision has been made by the EC on a scope of works which has been sent to tender and I have not been able to sight that scope of works nor comment upon it. What are the rights we have regarding such a plan and can it be prevented from going ahead or altered at this stage? As a new owner the meeting took place after the purchase of the property and only recently. If in sending the scope to tender, once quotes are received does it require approval from owners before actually going ahead? What percentage of owners must approve for it to be accepted? Is this something that must be approved by owners or only by the executive committee?
Thanks

It really depends on what those works are and their scope. It might be that there is a budget item approved at a general meeting and the EC is now just doing its job to find the best contractor to do the work and/or refining details. Alternatively, they might be doing their homework before bringing a proposal to a general meeting. Or, perhaps the work is maintenance that needs to be done urgently and they are getting on with it. Or perhaps it is something so minor that it can be reasonably done as an executive decision. Or perhaps they are gung ho. Hard to know without further detail. The best thing would be to just ask an EC member.
