On 30 April 2020, sections 3 and 111 of the Unit Titles Legislation Amendment Act 2020 and the Unit Titles (Management) Amendment Regulation 2020 (No 1) commenced. The combined effect of the above is that an owners corporation and the executive committee of an owners corporation are exempt from any requirement in the Unit Titles (Management) Act, schedule 2 or schedule 3, that requires members of the owners corporation or the executive committee to be physically present at a meeting of the owners corporation or executive committee.
This amendment applies to an owners corporation and the executive committee of an owners corporation during the public health emergency declaration period. The public health emergency declaration period ends on the day the Public Health (Emergency) Declaration 2020 (No 1) ends.
The Public Health (Emergency) Declaration 2020 (No 1) was originally scheduled to end on 7 July 2020. On 3 July 2020, this period has been extended for another 45 days, ending on 21 August 2020 by the Public Health (Emergency) Declaration Further Extension 2020 (No 10). This means that the members of the owners corporation or the executive committee will not need to be physically present at a meeting of the owners corporation or executive committee.
