Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication – Jeff Rich
Bodies corporate are required to comply with the Development Approval for their scheme.
As such, they need a mechanism to enforce compliance by owners and occupiers.
The best way to achieve this is by having a by-law that requires owners and occupiers to comply. Then, compliance can be enforced through the by-law contravention process including, if necessary, applying to the Commissioner’s Office for an order.
The jurisdiction of an Adjudicator is limited; in the absence of such a by-law, it is unlikely they can order compliance with a Development Approval.
If your scheme doesn’t have a by-law dealing with Development Approval compliance, we can assist. Contact our friendly team to discuss your scheme’s by-laws, or take advantage of our free by-laws assessment service.
