A good meeting starts with a good agenda. In strata and community schemes especially if you’re self-managed the agenda is your map. Without one, meetings can meander, tempers can flare, and you’ll probably forget the thing you actually needed to decide.

In strata and community schemes, meetings are where decisions get made but not all meetings are created equal. Two of the most common are committee meetings and general meetings. They sound similar, but they serve different purposes, involve different people, and follow different rules. 

Whether you’re in a high-rise strata, a cosy townhouse complex, or a sprawling community title estate, the AGM is more than just a legal hoop to jump through it’s the big decision-making day for your scheme.
