Notice of motion for the next general meeting

To the secretary, The Owners – Strata Plan No. ____________

Please put this motion on the agenda of the next general meeting. I require this under Schedule 1, clause 4 of the Strata Schemes Management Act 2015 (NSW).

Motion

That the owners corporation: (a) join a group of buildings that ask suppliers for prices together; (b) get a free, independent check from SMEInspect, a company that energy companies do not pay, of what it pays for power, gas, cleaning, waste and phone for the shared areas and, if the building has one, for its main power meter and power network contract; and (c) report the results at the next general meeting.

Explanation

Our levies pay for power, gas, cleaning, waste and phone for the shared areas. Where every home gets its power through one main meter, that contract can affect what every home pays. Buildings that ask for prices together can pay 10% to 20% less. Typical range to expect, as an illustration only. The check costs the owners corporation nothing. Nothing changes unless the owners corporation agrees. The building's free check starts at www.smeinspect.com.

Sign it. Give it to the secretary, or email it to your strata manager (they are usually the secretary). If the meeting notice has already gone out, it goes on the agenda of the meeting after that.
