The Annual General Meeting (AGM) is held once per year and typically held between June and October. The AGM is your opportunity to propose a change to an existing by-law of our strata scheme or to be granted a Special By-Law, e.g., to get permission to affix an awning to your outside wall, which is 'common property' - any alterations have to be approved by the Owners Corporation - and to vote on resolutions proposed by the Executive Committee or other lot owners.
To vote at an AGM you need to attend in person or nominate a proxy AND you must be 'financial' - this means that you must have paid all levies owed and have no outstanding debts.
A person may hold up to 3 proxies for our building. If you wish to nominate a proxy please contact that person in advance to ensure they don't hold the maximum level of proxies. In that case, unfortunately, your vote may not count.
You may give your proxy permission to vote on specific motions, all motions and also whether they can choose how to vote or whether to vote in a specific way. You can also specify the valid length of the proxy, e.g. 1 meeting, 2 meetings or all meeting for 1 year (the max allowable).
Extraordinary General Meetings may be held outside of the AGM cycle. If, for example, you wish to make significant modifications to your unit that require Owner approval (e.g. moving of plumbing) and do not wish to wait for the next AGM) you may request an EGM be held. If the issue only affects you, you will be expected to pay for the cost of administering the meeting. Please contact our strata agent for details at stratamanager@venetianpyrmont.com
