Who can stand for election to the body corporate committee?

Answer
Any lot owner who is not in arrears with their levies is eligible to nominate for the committee. You do not need any special qualifications. A person who is not an owner can also serve if they are nominated by a lot owner — for example, a company representative (if a lot is owned by a company) or a co-owner who is not named on the title. The following people are generally not eligible: - A body corporate manager, caretaker, or their associates - Persons who are bankrupt or have been convicted of relevant offences - Anyone currently in arrears with levies Committee members should be willing to act in the best interests of all owners in the scheme, not just their own lot.
