Retirement Villages Act 1986

Subject to subsection (2), at any meeting of residents at which a resolution is proposed, the chair of the meeting may declare, on the basis of a show of hands or on the voices of those present, that the resolution has been—

carried; or

carried unanimously; or

carried by a particular majority; or

lost.

If any resident present at the meeting demands that the vote of each resident entitled to vote at the meeting (including any vote permitted to be made by proxy) be counted, the chair of the meeting may not make a declaration under subsection (1) unless those votes are counted.

An entry in the minutes of the meeting to the effect of a declaration made under subsection (1) is conclusive proof of that fact.
