Community Title Act 2001

A member of the body corporate may vote personally or by proxy on issues to be decided at a general meeting.

Voting may be by show of hands but, if a poll is required, voting is in accordance with the constituent documents of the body corporate.

Co-owners may vote by proxy jointly appointed by them and, without such a proxy, they may not vote on a show of hands (except on a motion for a unanimous resolution).

However a co-owner may require a poll and on the poll a co-owner is entitled to voting rights proportionate to the co-owner’s interest in the lot.

If a mortgagee is in possession of a lot under a mortgage, the mortgagee is entitled to exercise the voting rights of the lessee, to the exclusion of the rights of the lessee.
