    11. Motion on the Agenda
  • If you have an issue that you want the owners’ corporation to address, you have to:
    • ensure that all your levies are paid and your name is on the strata roll; and
    • convene a general meeting.
  • You can do this in one of two ways:
    • via the executive committee through a majority vote; or
    • a written request to the Secretary of the strata scheme from owners who collectively hold at least a quarter of the unit entitlements.
  • Provide written notice to the Secretary about your motion:
    • the motion must be included on the agenda for the next general meeting by the Secretary; and
    • you can still discuss something at a meeting that is not on the agenda but you have to wait until the next meeting to vote on the motion.
  • If the Secretary does not put your proposed motion on the agenda you can:
    • bring up the issue at the meeting and ask for it to be put on the next general meeting’s agenda; or
    •  initiate mediation proceedings.
