What happens if no one wants to be on the committee?

If no committee is elected, the powers of the committee usually revert to the owners corporation as a whole — meaning every decision needs a general meeting or written ballot. The strata manager can also apply for compulsory appointment in some states.

This is a sign the scheme is in trouble. Decisions slow down, repairs are delayed, and managers may resign. The fix is usually to recruit one or two engaged owners, simplify the meeting format and lean more heavily on the strata manager to handle routine matters.
