COVID-19 is having a major impact on us all. The way we live, the way we interact with others and the way we work. At Northern Body Corporate Management we are constantly monitoring the evolving situation and following the latest directives from state and national governments as well as information coming from Strata Community Association Queensland.

​

Strata Community Association Queensland have supplied the following guides:

​

• Best Practice Guide for Managers

• Best Practice Guide for Owners 

​

Both guides provide comprehensive information on things you can do during this time to keep yourself and your family safe and healthy.

 

We understand and appreciate the effect this unprecedented situation may have on many of our clients, especially in relation to meetings and gatherings.

 

Body Corporate Meetings

​

Northern Body Corporate are introducing precautionary policies in relation to non-essential meetings.  This directly relates to Body Corporate Committee Meetings and General Meetings held on-site, at our office, and other venues. From 5pm 25 March, there will be no meetings held within our office. and no NBCM Managers will be attending meetings on-site. There are other solutions for conducting meetings.

 

We are encouraging our clients to assess meetings on a case-by-case basis, and give consideration to arranging alternative attendance methods such as teleconferencing, or sending/emailing in your voting paper. 

​

We encourage Lot Owners to submit voting papers in lieu of attending.  A voting paper for a General Meeting may be submitted by following the instructions on the meeting notice, or delivering your completed voting paper to your Body Corporate Secretary.
