Understanding the Different Types of Strata Resolutions

In a strata scheme, decisions are made through various types of resolutions. Each type has specific requirements for approval, ensuring that important decisions reflect the interests of the community.

1. Ordinary Resolutions:
These are the most common resolutions and are typically used for everyday decisions, like approving the budget or minor repairs. An ordinary resolution requires a simple majority (over 50%) of votes cast in favour during a meeting.

2. Special Resolutions:
Used for more significant decisions, such as amending by-laws or authorising major renovations. A special resolution requires at least 75% of the votes cast to be in favour.

3. Unanimous Resolutions:
As the name suggests, these require 100% agreement from all eligible voters. Unanimous resolutions are typically needed for decisions that have a major impact on the strata scheme, like changing the property’s management style or selling part of the common property.

4. Interim Resolutions:
These are temporary decisions made by the owners’ corporation and can be overturned or confirmed at the next general meeting. The most common interim resolutions occur in Victorian schemes when a quorum is not met, giving other members of the Owners’ Corporation 29 days to challenge any resolutions.
