As an owner who is not a member of the committee your avenue for participation in body corporate decision making is at the general meetings of members. Participation is not compulsory, however it is welcomed. Without a quorum of owners the body corporate is unable to hold a meeting to make decisions. If you choose to participate you may attend the general meeting personally, by appointing a proxy, or by use of a voting paper.

If you choose to participate in body corporate life you may -

  • Submit a motion for consideration by all the members (Standard Module Section 41 (2) & (3))
  • Attend general meetings
  • Put forward your point of view on any of the motions under consideration at a general meeting, and
  • Vote on the motion
