Somebody who lives here is putting this to the owners corporation. Read it, pass it on to your neighbours, and claim your own home to have your say.
Owners Corporation PS613436
This proposal asks the owners corporation to approve installing solar panels, an inverter, and the associated cabling on the common property roof. Because this changes the appearance and use of common property, the law requires it to be approved by a special resolution — a higher bar than an ordinary majority, needing strong support and few opposed votes rather than just more in favour than against. The motion below sets out the size of the system, which building it's for, the estimated cost, and where the money will come from; those details are left as blanks for the committee to fill in once quotes and funding options are known. Voting yes means agreeing to the installation and to how it will be paid for; voting no means it won't proceed on this basis. Members should look at the filled-in figures before the meeting, since the size and cost will determine how big a commitment this actually is.
Motion
That the owners corporation, by special resolution, approve the installation of a 200 kW solar photovoltaic array and associated inverter and cabling on the common property roof of 673 La Trobe Street, at an estimated cost of [COST] to be funded from the [FUND].
