BODY CORPORATE & COMMUNITY TITLE SCHEMES
Our Practice

With around 50,000 community titles schemes and over 400,000 people living in units in Queensland, the body corporate industry affects a large percentage of the Queensland population.

At Shand Taylor Lawyers we can assist in the establishment of community title schemes, the sale and purchase of lots, the establishment and transfer of management rights, the administration and control of bodies corporate, body corporate litigation, and dispute resolution.

Our Expertise

Our team regularly advises on:

  • the establishment, sale, and transfer of management rights.

  • the preparation of various body corporate contracts and agreements (including service contracts, marina berth leases, and caretaking and letting agreements).

  • by-laws, including the enforceability and implementation of by-laws.

  • the provisions of the body corporate legislation including the responsibilities and powers of bodies corporate and committees.

  • dispute resolution and litigation involving bodies corporate in the Courts, QCAT, and the Office of the Commissioner for Body Corporate and Community Management.

  • the establishment of community title schemes for residential, commercial, and industrial projects (from small complexes to large complicated layered, staged, or mixed residential and commercial arrangements).

  • restructuring community title schemes, including changing the future development inside or outside of the scheme and dissolving community title schemes.

  • the removal or addition of lots or common property to a community titles scheme.

  • the preparation of master contracts (including "off the plan" contracts) for strata title developments.

  • the preparation of first and new community management statements.

  • the sale and purchase of community title scheme lots.
