Tampering with the minutes of meetings? - Anton Kelly
Believe it or not, it happens!
The Sectional Titles Act and prescribed rules codify the principles of the common law of co-ownership. One of those principles is that one owner can’t do anything with the shared property without the agreement of the other co-owners, which is why anything that fundamentally affects the common property in sectional title schemes must be approved by a unanimous resolution.

In this article, Anton explains the importance of the minutes of sectional title meetings.

Communication between managing agents, trustees and owners  - Andrew Schaefer
The importance of maintaining communication
Regular, transparent and targeted communication, facilitated by trustees and directors, is a critical success factor for harmonious, communal living. Time and capacity are limited and challenged to also fit in communication responsibilities without a deliberate effort and priority around communication. This is mainly because trustees are volunteers who typically allocate significant after-hours time to body corporate management responsibilities, generally for no financial reward.

In this article, Andrew discusses the importance of communication between the Managing Agent and trustees; and between the trustees and owners.
