STRATA TITLES ACT 1985 - SECT 12

12 .         Registration of strata titles scheme

        (1)         A strata titles scheme is registered when the following documents (the scheme documents ) are registered and incorporated in the Register —

            (a)         for a freehold scheme —

                  (i)         a scheme notice;

                  (ii)         a scheme plan;

                  (iii)         a schedule of unit entitlements;

                  (iv)         scheme by-laws;

            (b)         for a leasehold scheme —

                  (i)         a scheme notice (which must specify the expiry day for the scheme);

                  (ii)         a scheme plan;

                  (iii)         a schedule of unit entitlements;

                  (iv)         scheme by-laws;

                  (v)         a strata lease for each lot.

        Note for this subsection:

                If the scheme by-laws comprise the by-laws set out in Schedules 1 and 2 without amendment, the scheme by-laws will be taken to be registered without the need for submission of the by-laws to the Registrar of Titles.

        (2)         A registered strata titles scheme is amended when amendments of the relevant scheme documents, or replacements of the relevant scheme documents, are registered or recorded and incorporated in the Register.

        Note for this subsection:

                The amendment may be necessary to give effect to a subdivision of land as referred to in section 11(2) or it may be unrelated to a subdivision of land, comprising, for example —

•         the amendment of the scheme notice so as to amend the name or address for service of the strata company; or

•         the amendment or replacement of the scheme plan for the strata titles scheme for a purpose related to an easement or restrictive covenant or a restricted use condition; or

•         the amendment or replacement of the schedule of unit entitlements for the strata titles scheme because of a new valuation of lots; or

•         the amendment or replacement of scheme by-laws.

        (3)         If a registered leasehold scheme is amended to give effect to a subdivision involving the creation of new lots, a strata lease must be registered as a scheme document for each new lot.
