Block Management - Annual General Meetings

What is an annual general meeting?
An AGM is simply a General Meeting of members that is held annually. Ordinarily, it is between the building owners and stakeholders such as tenants or shareholders of the building.
Meetings must be given 14 clear days’ notice or a longer period before a meeting can take place. It should also be advertised widely so all parties are aware of the upcoming meeting.
What is the purpose of annual general meetings?
The purpose of annual general meetings can vary depending on the type and size of the building. Common discussion points include:
- Reviewing the property’s 12-month financial performance: the AGM is an opportunity for owners to review financial statements and discuss any issues related to the past year.
- Electing or re-electing members of the management committee may also be part of the agenda: property owners may vote on the election or re-election of members of the management committee responsible for the property.
- Approving budgets and service charges: property owners may vote on the approval of the annual budget for the property and setting service charges
- Discussing and voting on important issues related to the property: property owners may discuss and vote on important management or maintenance issues, such as repairs or renovations that are needed.
- Providing a forum for property owners to raise concerns: the AGM provides an opportunity for concerns or questions about the management and maintenance of the property to be raised by both shareowners and occupiers.
