GK Strata Management Questions & Answers

Hi Archie,

Thank you for your enquiry.

In regards to changing strata manager, the first discussion that you should have is with your strata committee to bring up any issues that you may have with your strata manager.
Once agreed, please ask the strata committee to contact the branch manager directly to discuss.

Kind regards,

The Team GK Strata

Good Afternoon Roberta,

The members of the strata committee must be elected at each annual general meeting (AGM).
The strata committee is to consist of such number of members, as the owners corporation may determine, but may not exceed 9. Large schemes must have a minimum of 3 members.
Any person nominating or being nominated for the strata committee must do in writing prior to the meeting or verbally at the AGM. The legislation calls for nominations before and at the AGM, and specifies that the consent of the nominated person is to be in writing or in person at the meeting.
If the number of nominations exceeds the number determined, then a ballot is held to elect the committee.
ELIGIBLE FOR ELECTION
• an individual who is an owner
• a company nominee of a corporation that is an owner
• a co-owner of a lot if nominated by another owner other than the co-owner, or the co-owner if they are not a candidate. Only one co-owner of a lot can be a member at the same time.
• an individual who is not an owner but who is nominated for election by an owner who is not a member nor a candidate.
WHO IS INELIGIBLE FOR ELECTION
• Building manager
• Property manager / leasing agent
• Person connected to the original owner who does not disclose the connection. Un-financial owner at the time of the notice who has not paid amounts owing prior to the meeting.
• If become ineligible after appointment and does not disclose in writing to the secretary or chairperson.

I hope this helps.
Thanks,

Thanks for your question. Firstly you can have up to 9 members on a strata committee but it depends on the number that was voted at the AGM on how many members for the strata committee for the following year. It sounds like the vote was 3. Under normal circumstances any owner that is eligible to be elected can put themselves forward for election to the committee but the owners must only select 3 if that is the number that has been voted. This may lead to a vote by owners. NCAT has the powers to deny an lot owner from being elected to the strata committee if it deems it necessary.
