Progressive Strata Services

How does an owners corporation notify people about executive committee meetings?

Notice of a meetings: There a two distinct processes in sending notices.

Where the strata scheme is a large scheme (as defined) a notice must be given at least 72 hours before the meeting is to be held to each owner and executive committee member and if a notice board is required under the schemes by-law it must be displayed on the notice board.

Where the strata scheme is not a large scheme the notice must be displayed on the notice board or if the owners corporation is not required to have a notice board then a copy must be given to each owner and executive committee member.

Any notice issued must specify when and where the meeting is to be held and contain a detailed agenda. Curiously there is no requirement to provide copies of any attachments or supporting documentation although it may be considered appropriate in certain circumstances (so that members are prepared and the meeting can make decisions as quickly as possible).

Notices can also be given by electronic means (ie. email) but only if members have provided their email address to the owners corporation and requested that the email address be used to serve notices.
