You are entitled to vote at a general meeting in person, if you are:

  • a company nominee of a corporation shown on the strata roll as the owner
  • an appointed proxy
  • an owner/mortgagee or covenant chargee of a lot shown on the strata roll.

A mortgagee or covenant chargee has a priority to vote ahead of the lot owner on motions that need a special or unanimous resolution, or motions about insurance, budgeting or levies that have expenditure over $200 multiplied by the number of lots in the scheme. Example: in a ten-lot scheme a priority vote can only be used on a motion where expenditure exceeds $2000. In a 500-lot scheme, it would be $100,000. An owner can vote when the mortgagee or covenant chargee refuses or neglects to vote, or does not give the lot owner at least 2 days written notice of the intention to use the priority vote.

An owner cannot vote if levies are in arrears, except on motions requiring a unanimous resolution [Schedule 2, Part 2, Clause 10].
