Somebody who lives here is putting this to the body corporate. Read it, pass it on to your neighbours, and claim your own home to have your say.

This proposal is about putting solar panels on the roof of the building to generate electricity for the scheme. It is an improvement to the common property, so the owners need to formally decide whether to go ahead, how big the system should be, what it will cost, and which fund pays for it. Because installing solar counts as an improvement to common property, the law requires this to be decided by a special resolution, which means at least 75% of the votes cast must be in favour, with no more than 25% against, at a general meeting. The blanks in the motion below still need to be filled in with the actual size of the system, the building name, the cost, and the fund it will be paid from before this goes to a vote. Reading this doesn't require any legal background — it simply sets out what is being asked and what it will take to pass.
Motion
That the body corporate, by special resolution, authorise improvements to the common property comprising the installation of a 18 kW solar photovoltaic array and associated inverter and cabling on the roof of 589 Beams Road, at a cost of [COST] to be funded from the [FUND].
