Once your by-law has been passed by special resolution at a general meeting of the Owners Corporation, there is one more step you will need to undertake before your by-law is enforceable: Registration. This step is often forgotten as many lot owners assume that having a by-law passed at a general meeting is sufficient. However this is not the case. Your by-law must be registered at the NSW Land Registry Services (LRS) within six months of being passed. If this is not done, the by-law will not be enforceable and will need to be re-passed at another general meeting and then registered within the stipulated timeframe.<\/p>\n

What are the steps to getting a by-law registered?<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Once your by-law is passed, let us know and we will prepare the relevant registration forms;<\/li>\n
  2. The registration forms will need to be signed by your strata manager or relevant committee members;<\/li>\n
  3. The forms will need to be returned to us by post;<\/li>\n
  4. Once received, we lodge the forms electronically with the LRS via PEXA;<\/li>\n
  5. The LRS will provide confirmation of registration (this can take between one to three weeks);<\/li>\n
  6. Once confirmation is received, the by-law is in force and registered on the title of the strata scheme.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    One of the benefits of using our registration service is that we will always provide the Owners Corporation with a copy of the word formatted consolidated by-laws once registration is complete. This is particularly useful given that each time a new by-law is added or the existing by-laws are amended, a word version of the consolidated by-laws is needed to prepare the registration forms. Having an up to date word formatted copy of the consolidated by-laws on the books and records of the scheme also ensures that the Owners Corporation is fulfilling their obligation under s 141(3) of the Strata Schemes Management Act 2015<\/em>.<\/p>\n

    If you have any further questions or need assistance with your by-law registration, please contact our Newcastle or Sydney office on 02 4032 7990 or 02 8706 7060.<\/p>\n
