If you are an Owner within a Body Corporate, you can appoint a proxy to represent you at a General Meeting. The proxy holder may be family or friend, they do not need to be part of the Body Corporate.
When appointing a proxy for a general meeting, it is important to note the limitations. Firstly, if your body corporate has less than 20 lots in the scheme, a single person cannot hold more than one proxy. For schemes with 20 or more lots, a person cannot hold proxies for more than 5% of the total number of lots. These regulations are set out in the legislation and are in place to promote an even distribution of voting.
Also, proxies cannot vote on the following General Meeting Resolution types:
• Electing Committee Members
• Secret Ballot Motions
• Engaging a person as a Body Corporate Manager or third-party service
• Voting if the Owner is already present or has submitted their vote before the meeting.
