Standard Rules

Standard Rules

Old general rules from the Body Corporate era, i.e. pre 31 Dec 2007. The Owners Corporation Act 2006 came into operation in December 2007. The Owners Corporation Act 2006 introduced a new set of rules (called Model Rules) in Dec 2007. It is likely that the intent of the new Model rules was to replace the old Standard Rules but this did not happen, so technically there are now three sets of rules, however no one uses these old rules.

Use of common properties and lots.

A member must not, and must ensure that the occupier of a member’s lot does not –

a. Use the common property or permit the common property to be used in such a manner as to unreasonably interfere with or prevent its use by other members or occupants of lots or their families or visitors;

b. Park or leave a vehicle on the common property so as to obstruct a driveway or entrance to a lot or in any place other than in a parking area specified for such purpose by the Owners Corporation;

c. Use or permit a lot affected by the Owners Corporation to be used for any purpose which may be illegal or injurious to the reputation of the development or may cause a nuisance or hazard to any other member or occupier of any lot or the families or visitors of any such member or occupier;

d. Make or permit to be made any undue noise in or about the common property or any lot affected by the Owners Corporation;
