張惟越 | 動用儲備金需業主大會表決嗎？

不過，基於管理委員只不過是區區的最少3位至最多14位民選管理委員而已，每每動用樓宇的儲備金時如果不以透明化的操作方案，很容易被詬病並導致流言蜚語不斷。故市場常見的做法就是管理委員透過年會或特別會議動議儲備金的使用項目，並爭取業主們的認可後才動用儲備金。

這樣的處理方案可在避免黑箱操作的同時獲得民意，讓儲備金的運用更能滿足多數人的需求。而且街坊鄰里也有參與感，可提升整個社區的和諧共處度。

請詳細閱讀以下的律法條文：

按照ACT757，2013年分層管理法令第24條文的第2副條文，儲備金賬戶應僅用於滿足關於下列事項之實際或預期資本支出（The sinking fund account shall be used solely for the purposes of meeting the actual or expected capital expenditure in respect of the following matters）：

律法原文如下：

Section 24       Joint management body to establish sinking fund account

(2) The sinking fund account shall be used solely for the purposes of meeting the actual or expected capital expenditure in respect of the following matters:

(a) the painting or repainting of any part of the common property;

(b) the acquisition of any movable property for use in relation to the common property;

(c) the renewal or replacement of any fixture or fitting comprised in any common property;

(d) the upgrading and refurbishment of the common property; or

(e) any other capital expenditure as the joint management body deems necessary.

還有，

Section 51       developer to establish sinking fund account in the name of
management corporation

(2) The sinking fund account shall be used solely for the purposes of meeting the actual or expected capital expenditure necessary in respect of the following matters:

(a) the painting or repainting any part of the common property which is a building or other structure;

(b) the acquisition of any movable property for use in relation to the common property;

(c) the renewal or replacement of any fixtures or fittings comprised in any common property and any movable property vested in the management corporation;

(d) the upgrading and refurbishment of the common property; and

(e) any other capital expenditure as the management corporation deems necessary.

最後，呼籲業主在開炮發飆之前，請先認清楚自己的律法權限，不要因流言蜚語就跟著大隊發飆，這對樓宇的維修維護是毫無幫助的哦。

市場的慣用章程則是將該項目推去年度會議（AGM）讓業主表決，或遇到緊急的搶修項目時，就召開特別大會（EGM）讓業主參與決策，一起表決。這固然是好事，但是每一次舉辦年會都需要時間、人力、物力等大前提。

關鍵性的維護工程也可能因流程所需的時間而導致嚴重的延誤，故請思慮清楚再決定如何辦才能把傷害降到最低。畢竟共管樓宇，大家居住在同一個屋簷下共享樓宇的設備與資源，筆者認為和諧才是王道。相信沒人希望自己居住的家，鬧哄哄的爭執不斷。
