A motion at a general meeting is decided by the number of votes cast for or against the motion, with each owner having one vote for each lot they own. Most decisions can be made by a simple majority vote but sometimes a special resolution or unanimous resolution is needed.

Even when a simple majority vote only is needed, a poll can be called for. When a poll is demanded, votes have a different value and are worked out by counting the unit entitlements.

Some motions need a special resolution, which is one against which not more than one quarter in value of votes is cast. The value of the vote is the unit entitlement.

Some motions need a unanimous resolution. This is where no one at the meeting votes against the motion [Schedule 2, Part 2, Clause 18].
