What is a strata committee?

We are your Strata Committee for 53-59 Helen Street, and our Strata Number is 7166. A strata committee (previously called an ‘executive committee’) is a group of people that the owners corporation elects to help it make decisions for the scheme.

What decisions can the strata committee make?

A strata committee helps the owners corporation make decisions about the strata scheme. The owners corporation chooses exactly what the strata committee can decide on. The owners corporation can also overrule any decisions the strata committee makes.

Who makes up a strata committee?

The owners corporation elects the strata committee at each annual general meeting (AGM).

There can be one to nine people on the committee. The owners corporation decides the total number, which cannot be more than nine.

Who can join a strata committee?

Owners can nominate one person for election for each property they own in the scheme.

You can nominate yourself, another owner or someone who doesn’t own a property. This might be a tenant or the tenant representative.

You cannot join or be nominated for the strata committee if you are:

• the building manager

• an agent who leases any property in the strata scheme to tenants

• someone connected to the original owner (developer) or building manager of the scheme, unless you disclose this in writing before election

• an owner who owes money to the scheme at the time of the AGM.

The Strata Committee meets approx.. every 3 months and you can check the noticeboards in the foyers for our next meeting as well as our Upcoming Events page
