Special Written Resolution
We are a sectional title complex with 20 sections, & are considering sinking a borehole. We have circulated the proposal (Special Resolution in Writing) - as I understand it, we needed 100% of section owners to reply in writing, & + 75% (by both number & PQ)voted to proceed with the borehole.
The topic was discussed (discussion only) at our AGM (the previous month), merely for information purposes.
We have an owner who is demanding a Special Resolution at a Special General Meeting before we can proceed (quoting directly from a Paddocks Blog written by Dr Carryn Melissa Durham, where she states that approval can only be given at a Special General Meeting. This same owner presented papers which were discussed at the AGM (a good half hour).
Paddocks Sectional Title Survival Manual (page 8) states that a Special Resolution in Writing is quite permissable as an altentive to a Special Resolution taken at a properly convened Special General Meeting. Nothing is said about 100% of members being required to vote, although we have ensured that 100% of owners voted for the Special Resolution in Writing.
Question: Can we proceed with the borehole based on the result of the Special Resolution, or must we hold a Special General Meeting?

RE: Special Written Resolution
Sectional Titles Scheme Management Act - Regulations [The full text is available under the library section on this page]
Annual and special general meetings 17
(9) The body corporate does not have to hold a special general meeting to consider a resolution if all members waive the right to the meeting and
consent to the resolution in writing; provided that if two or more persons are jointly entitled to exercise a vote, all of them must waive the right to the meeting and consent to the resolution in writing.
RE: Special Written Resolution
The question was merely if one can resolve the issue by a written special resolution, or if it is necessary to hold a special general meeting
