Why You Should Attend Your AGM
The Annual General Meeting (AGM) gives owners the opportunity to come together and discuss matters that affect the entire property. Whether you join in-person or online, attending this meeting gives you the opportunity to understand how your property is managed, have your say on important decisions, and help protect the value of your investment.
For many owners, the AGM can feel like a formality, or something easily skipped. However, these meetings play a central role in how a strata scheme operates throughout the year.
Here’s why you should attend:
Protect Your Investment
Properties within a strata scheme rely on shared responsibility to maintain their condition and value. Each owner has a role in monitoring both their private lot and the common property.
Attending the AGM helps ensure:
- Your vote contributes to meaningful outcomes
- Maintenance priorities reflect current needs
- Decisions support the long-term condition of the building
Make Your Voice Count
Many important matters are decided through voting at the AGM, including committee appointments, budgets, and upcoming works.
Attending ensures your input is included in decisions that may directly impact your property.
If there is little or no owner attendance at an AGM, strata managers may be required to carry forward decisions from the previous year, which may no longer suit the property’s current situation.
Stay Informed
As an owner, you may not always have visibility of how your property is being managed day-to-day.
The AGM allows you to gain insight into the property’s financial position and maintenance schedule, including how funds are budgeted and allocated from urgent repairs and future planning.
If you have concerns or suggestions relating to your investment or the entire property, this is the most effective place to raise them.
