What’s Specially or Unanimously Decided in NSW?

When NSW strata corporations need to make decisions there’s three different kinds.

Most things are decided by simple majority vote, but there are 25 things that need to be decided by special or unanimous vote or consent. 

Some of those things are obvious like special votes for by-laws, subdivisions and changing common property and unanimous resolutions (or consents) for terminating the strata corporation.  But some are less obvious or common.

The Strata Experts have produced a simple summary of those things for NSW strata corporations called What’s So Special & Unanimous In NSW Strata Title Resolutions ?

which you can read at its website.  So, if you need or want to know more check it out.

Special resolutions (or votes) involve a three quarter majority and, interestingly, unanimous resolutions simply mean that no one votes against the motion (in other words a resolution without dissent).  And, of course that’s only counting the votes made at the meeting itself.

So, make sure you get decision making right and that the unanimous decisions are unanimous, the special decisions are special and everything else is a majority.
