What are body corporate by-laws
By-laws are the internal set of rules, specific to each body corporate. They regulate what can and cannot happen inside the community tiles scheme, and cover a wide range of matters including:
- Changes to each lot’s external appearance
- Renovations of lots
- Rules for using the shared recreation areas
- Body corporate supplying services to residents
- Speed limit on the shared driveways
- Opening times of the shared facilities
- What plants can be planted in courtyards
By-laws are originally decided by the developer, but the body corporate has the power to change its own by-laws through a democratic voting process.
Complying with by-laws is compulsory and they apply equally to owner-occupiers, tenants and visitors. If the by-law is unsuitable or unpopular, owners may submit a motion to their body corporate to change it.
