Commercial Module elections
This information explains how a body corporate committee is elected in schemes registered under the Commercial Module only.
For committee elections in schemes registered under other regulation modules see:
Schemes registered under the Specified Two-lot Schemes Module do not have a committee.
Running an election
A body corporate must choose a committee by election at the annual general meeting each year.
Each owner is entitled to 1 vote for each lot they own.
The body corporate must run the election in the way decided by special resolution. The way decided must be fair and reasonable.
An eligible candidate may be elected to hold 1, 2 or all 3 of the executive positions (chairperson, secretary and treasurer).
Committees in schemes with 1, or 2 or 3 owners
If all lots in the scheme are owned by the same person, the committee consists of that person.
If all the lots are owned by only 2 or 3 different people, they must decide which executive positions they each hold. If they cannot agree, the executive member positions of the committee are held jointly by each of them.
