The information is for those who want to take an active interest in their investment and who are willing to volunteer their time, money and expertise to important maintenance for a high rise at the age of Broadwater Tower, as well as promote harmony and a peaceful community life in our chosen homes.
Over 20 years since 2000, there have been around 40 adjudicator decisions for Broadwater Tower Dispute Applications made by owners.
At Broadwater Tower, we are fortunate to have a wealth of expertise to drawn on amongst the owners and residents, and many owners want to see re-introduction of the committee actively consulting and involving owners’ in decisions affecting their investment by holding owners’ forums to introduce contractors for owners to provide input and ask questions, so that owners are able to make informed decisions at General Meetings.
To protect our investment and improve the value of our home, the body corporate committee would benefit from consulting and communicating with owners.
We encourage any owner or resident with any skills to step forward and provide their input.
Although the committee is the administrative arm of the Body Corporate, they are only maximum 7 people and one key to harmony is for committee members to recognise and respect owners by firstly consulting owners and by providing transparency in committee activity and spending as they are a very small percentage of the total number of 132 owners at Broadwater Tower, as everyone deserves the right to have a say in the look and feel of their home.
If the committee adopts a transparent and consultative approach, this will greatly assist to end the disharmony amongst owners at Broadwater Tower and see a decrease in the number of dispute applications submitted to the Office of the Commissioner for Body Corporate and Community Management.
As an owner, your vote counts.
You collectively make the decision on what is to be the focus for the following year at the Annual General Meeting (AGM).
Carrying out the motions you voted for and were passed at an AGM is what the committee are there for.
Sometimes Extraordinary General Meetings (EGM) are held for urgent matters.
If the committee haven’t addressed your concerns at the AGM, place an owner motion to the next Annual General Meeting of Owners or if you believe the unaddressed matter you are concerned about is urgent, rally up 25% of owners to sign their agreement for the calling of an EGM.
The importance of your role as a Body Corporate member has been articulated in section 4 of Effectively Managing Your Body Corporate written by Duncan Lee, Managing Director Pinnacle Strata
Most people make the mistake of thinking a Body Corporate functions like a company
however, …
A Body Corporate is exactly the opposite of a company in the way it operates. The real
power is with the lot owners and is reserved for general meetings where all owners are
invited to a meeting and may vote on issues. The Committee has limited powers—really just
enough for them to implement the decisions of the Body Corporate made at general
meetings. The Chairperson has virtually no power—quite simply this person just chairs the
meetings.
