Can a strata committee member give a proxy to another committee member at a strata committee meeting? – Stuart, NSW

Q: Can a strata committee member give a proxy to another committee member at a strata committee meeting?

A: Under the Legislation, a proxy is only able to be used at General Meetings, not Strata Committee Meetings. However, the Legislation (Section 34) allows an owner to be appointed as an ‘acting’ member of the Strata Committee by an existing Strata Committee on the condition that the Strata Committee have provided consent.
