Legislation & Fact Sheets
The legislation that sets the framework for the operation of bodies corporate is the Body Corporate and Community Management Act 1997 (the Act). The Act applies to all bodies corporate, however to account for variations between schemes, bodies corporate are further classified into one of 5 regulation modules, as shown below.
The regulation module applicable to each scheme is shown on the community management statement (CMS) for that scheme. The modules are named (small schemes, commercial etc) as an indication of the type of schemes to which they apply, however the CMS must be referenced, as not all commercial properties come under the commercial module.
The regulation module that applies to the scheme contains much of the legislative detail, for example how the body corporate may make decisions.
