Committee Information

Serving on a committee for a body corporate can be a complex and daunting task. It is an important role that carries with it the burden of responsibility and indeed personal liability for negligent acts and omissions. BCP Strata works with members of the committee to ensure your Body Corporate is managed appropriately.

BCP Strata offers all owners access to body corporate records through the internet via the StrataMax web site. Owners are able to securely view and print information about their property including levies, minutes, bylaws etc.

A Brief Overview About Committees:

	The legislation set out under the Body Corporate and Community Management Act 1997 requires that every body corporate must have a committee.
	The Committee consists of the Chairperson, Secretary and Treasurer ("executive"), and ordinary members. There must be at least three members but not more than seven members (unless there are less than seven lots).
	A person is eligible to be a voting member of the committee if the person is an individual nominated for membership of the committee by a member of the body corporate. To find out more about eligibility to become a committee member click here and go to Part 2 'Committee Membership'

'Ode to Our Committee'

Oh give us some pity, we're on the Committee
This means, from morning 'til night
We attend and amend and contest and defend
With many conclusions in sight.

We confer and concur, we defer and demur
And reiterate all of our thoughts:
We revise the agenda with frequent addenda
And consider a load of reports.

We compose and propose, we suppose and oppose
As through points of procedure we run,
And as various notions are brought up as motions
There's really so much that gets done.

We resolve and absolve but we never dissolve
Since it's out of the question for us
What a shattering pity to end our committee:
Where else could we make such a fuss?
