Strata Titles Act 1985

The owner of each lot in a strata titles scheme is entitled to 1 vote on a proposed resolution of the strata company.

However, the owner of a lot is not entitled to cast the vote attached to the lot if —

the resolution is not required to be a unanimous resolution or a resolution without dissent and is not a resolution for postponing the expiry day for a leasehold scheme or a termination resolution; and

there is an outstanding amount recoverable under this Act owed to the strata company by the owner of the lot.

A proposed resolution can be put to the members of a strata company —

at a general meeting; or

outside of a general meeting.

A resolution can be proposed only by a member of the strata company who is entitled to vote on the resolution.

The vote attached to a lot can, and can only, be cast, if at the time it is cast, the person is entitled to cast the vote attached to the lot.

The owner of a lot may cast the vote attached to the lot in person or by duly appointed proxy.

However, if a vote is taken at a general meeting at which both the owner of a lot and a proxy entitled to cast the vote attached to the lot are present and the owner is not a co‑owner of the lot, the owner of the lot must cast the vote.

The voting system, whether it is electronic or by other means, must —

enable votes to be cast in a manner designed to protect the integrity of the voting system; and

comply with any requirements specified in the regulations.
