Can company with several lots appoint multiple reps to AGM

Smallish complex – can a single commercial entity (neighbouring nursing home/retirement village) owner of multiple units (with designs on the property, BTW) appoint multiple representatives to an AGM…

It’s a numbers game.  If the company has more than one lot, then they are entitled to a vote and a nomination for each of those lots.

… and more importantly expect them all to be able to join EC?

But there is no entitlement to get a seat on the strata committee, just an entitlement to be nominated.  What you have to do to protect your position is to make sure you have a majority of owners on your side.

With a majority, you can decide the size of the committee and the number of people on it, regardless of how many nominees the company sends to the meeting.

You could theoretically exclude them from the committee completely, if you wanted, or make sure there was only one or two spare seats above the numbers occupied by your supporters.

Ownership in strata in NSW gives you an entitlement to vote and if you have two lots, you get two votes, three lots get three votes etc etc.  Multiple ownership doesn’t guarantee you anything else except the right to attend committee meetings (without speaking) and several sets of levies every quarter.  However, all that changes if the majority of owners can’t organise themselves to vote as a group.

I should have spelled that out.  But the same principle applies, an owner has the voting power attached to all their properties and proxy vote limits would not come into it.
