Special payment to outgoing Secretary of EC

I own an apartment in inner city Sydney. Have just received Notice of AGM and surprised to see a motion that the owners corp pay the outgoing Secretary of the Exec Cttee an honorarium of $6.6k in recognition of the time & effort spent on building upgrade work. I don’t know amount of time & effort spent but isn’t that what I pay a strata, building & property manager to do? Is this a common practice? If not, could it create a precedent? THANKS
