Can a body corporate committee member be removed?

Answer
Yes. A committee member can be removed from office in several ways: **By resolution at a general meeting:** Any lot owner can submit a motion to remove a committee member. This requires an ordinary resolution (more votes for than against) at a general meeting. **Automatic disqualification:** A committee member is automatically disqualified if they fall into arrears with levies, are no longer eligible to serve (for example, they sell their lot), or meet another disqualification condition under the relevant module. **Voluntary resignation:** A committee member can resign by giving written notice to the secretary. If a committee member is removed or resigns, the remaining committee can co-opt a replacement to serve until the next AGM, depending on the module rules.
