Extension of COVID-19 Laws on Strata and Community Schemes
Due to ongoing issues with COVID-19 (although we suspect many of the stakeholders are pressing hard for these behind the scene to be frank), the NSW Government has extended the operation of the laws to allow general and strata committee meetings to be held remotely.
The previous provisions on these were set to be repealed on 31 May 2022. The laws will now continue to apply until 30 September 2022.
The extension of these laws under the strata and community regulations means that voting at a meeting held remotely can still be undertaken electronically, for example, teleconferencing, video conferencing, email, or other electronic means. This would by-pass the “normal” need for the schemes to have already resolved to opt into these electronic meetings.
