STRATA TITLES (GENERAL) REGULATIONS 2019 - REG 7

7 .         Calculation of open space

        (1)         For the purposes of the definition of open space in section 3(1), to calculate the open space of a lot in a strata titles scheme, the open space of the parcel that is the subject of the strata titles scheme is to be apportioned between lots —

            (a)         in accordance with the scheme by‑laws; or

            (b)         if the scheme by‑laws do not provide for that apportionment, in accordance with the pro rata entitlements of each lot.

        (2)         The open space of the parcel that is the subject of the strata titles scheme is calculated as follows —

            (a)         if the parcel is residential development to which the R‑Codes apply — in accordance with the R‑Codes;

            (b)         if paragraph (a) does not apply — in accordance with the relevant local planning scheme;

            (c)         if neither paragraph (a) nor (b) applies — in the same way as it would be determined by the local government if a development application (within the meaning given in the Planning and Development Act 2005 section 4(1)) were made for approval of a structural alteration of the lot.

        (3)         The pro rata entitlements of a lot are calculated on the proportion that the area of a lot bears to the area of the parcel.

        Note for this regulation:

                Open space calculations are used in Part 7 Division 2 of the Act.
