Strata Title

By-Laws

All owners and residents that reside in a strata titled unit must adhere to the schemes by-laws.

The by-laws are a set of rules designed to assist with the running of the strata scheme which must be obeyed by all owners and residents.

By-laws may be amended, cancelled or added to at a general meeting of the Owners Corporation by way of special resolution.

All by-laws are not the same so it is wise to obtain a copy of the current by-laws for the strata scheme involved.

Schemes registered today must choose and register their own by-laws. There are six model by-laws in the regulations of the Strata Schemes Management Act 1996 and the Owners Corporation may select any of these or prepare their own.

Strata living often brings people of diverse interests and backgrounds close together. Disagreements and disputes sometimes arise. The Strata Schemes Management Act 1996 sets out a process for resolving disputes which may in some cases involve the strata titles boards.
