Legislation in Queensland

In Queensland, strata-titled properties are governed under the Body Corporate and Community Management Act 1997 (“BCCM Act”). The BCCM Act’s primary objectives are to provide for the establishment and operation of community title schemes. Under the BCCM Act, there are five regulation modules that cater to different schemes:

  1. Body Corporate and Community Management Act 1997

  2. Body Corporate and Community Management (Standard Module) Regulation 2020

  3. Body Corporate and Community Management (Accommodation Module) Regulation 2020

  4. Body Corporate and Community Management (Commercial Module) Regulation 2020

  5. Body Corporate and Community Management (Small Schemes Module) Regulation 2020

  6. Body Corporate and Community Management (Specified Two-lot Schemes Module) Regulation 2011

Depending on the nature of the scheme, the regulation module it is registered under should be different. It is not unusual for schemes to be registered under a regulation module that is not suitable for the nature of the scheme. A comparison of the effect of a change in the regulation module applying to a scheme can be found below in BCCM Form 19.
