NSW: Q&A EGM Motions on an Agenda

Question: What are the protocol and procedures for dealing with requests from a Lot owner for an EGM and a motion on the agenda?

Answer: Instead of convening a meeting specifically for the requirement, you may place the motion on an agenda for the next general meeting

1. No. Schedule 1 Clause 4 (3) requires the Secretary to give effect to the requirement.
2. Again, you must give effect to the requirement, however, instead of convening a meeting specifically for the requirement, you may place the motion on an agenda for the next general meeting.
3. You must give effect to the requirement. The owners corporation, or rather the Chairperson would determine such matters at the general meeting.
4. The strata committee or owners corporation must resolve to do so first and comply with the other requirements of the legislation and regulation.
5. It is not really the strata committee’s role to make such demands, but rather the Chairperson’s at the meeting.
6. There is no requirement to do so, so we consider any discussions should take place at the meeting.
7. No. You must comply with the timeframe specified.
8. Again, the legislative timeframe must be observed.
9. The intention of a qualified request is to compel the secretary to convene a general meeting. So, no the Strata Committee may not defer.
