A repair quote is ready for your building. But when the item comes up at the owners meeting, too few owners are taking part for a decision to be made straight away.
A smaller group may still be able to make the decision under the current rules, but it generally cannot take effect for 28 days.
That can leave approved work waiting while residents continue dealing with the issue.
The ACT is considering changes that could help owners corporations make decisions and act on them sooner.
For most buildings, the proposed rules would lower the usual minimum participation from votes representing half the units to one-quarter. Votes sent in before a meeting could also help reach that minimum, and decisions made by a smaller group could take effect the next day, provided owners receive the required notice.
Our latest blog explains what these changes could mean for ACT owners.
