What is a “strata committee”?

Posted 07 November 2024

Category:

A “strata committee” is a group of lot owners elected to make certain decisions on behalf of the owners corporation in order to assist with the day-to-day management of a strata scheme.

A committee is typically between 1 to 9 members. However, for any large scheme that contains more than 100 lots, there is a statutory requirement that the committee must consist of at least 3 members.

There is not, strictly, a requirement to be an owner in the strata scheme in order to be a committee member, but a person who is not an owner can only be nominated by an owner of a lot who is not a member, or is not seeking election as a member, except for the following people, who must own a lot in order to be on the committee:

  • 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 the person discloses this in writing before election; and /or
  • an owner who owes money to the scheme at the time of the notice of the general meeting where a committee is to be elected, and who does not pay those amounts before the meeting.
