NSW: Q&A Using Electronic Voting to Fast Track Committee Decisions

 

Question: Our AGM will be held by electronic voting thereby negating any opportunity to debate motions on the Agenda. Is this considered fair and reasonable under current NSW Legislation?

The Strata Manager and Strata Committee have orchestrated the AGM to be held by electronic voting thereby negating any opportunity to debate motions on the Agenda. Is this considered fair and reasonable under current NSW Legislation?

Answer: In the current climate it would likely be considered fair and reasonable to hold meetings via such means.

Since 5th June 2020 the strata legislation introduced the emergency COVID-19 measures which permit all strata committees and owners corporations to hold meetings via electronic and other means to assist with social gathering restrictions and so forth. Therefore, in the current climate it would likely be considered fair and reasonable to hold meetings via such means.
