Queensland is dominated by strata property developments. The Body Corporate and Community Management Act 1997 (QLD) provides the legislative platform for the Regulation Modules which are applied to the various scheme types in Queensland.

The five Body Corporate Law Regulation Modules:
1. Body Corporate and Community Management (Standard Module) Regulation 2008
2. Body Corporate and Community Management (Accommodation Module) Regulation 2008
3. Body Corporate and Community Management (Commercial Module) Regulation 2008
4. Body Corporate and Community Management (Small Schemes Module) Regulation 2008
5. Body Corporate and Community Management (Specified Two-Lot Schemes Module) Regulation 2011
Our Body Corporate Law practitioners are experienced in all phases of the development, enforcement, administration and operations of Queensland bodies corporate, including management rights and letting arrangements.
Each body corporate must adapt By-Laws, which provide the contribution and allotment schedules detailing the obligations and rights of each owner in a scheme to exclusive use areas, and common property.
From time to time, schemes will have issues with its owners. These issues may be failure to pay levies, damage to common property, creation of nuisances and changes in environmental and structural requirements of the scheme. Our Team assists in each stage, including assisting in drawing amendments to By-Laws, negotiating changes to service provider agreements, advising on contravention matters, orchestrating levy recovery litigation and general advisory services.
