Under the Queensland Government’s Land Title Act of 1994, a body corporate is classified as ‘a legal entity which is created when land is subdivided…to establish a community titles scheme.’ All owners of property within the community titles scheme are members of the body corporate. Subsequently, these owners are all partially responsible for a body corporate maintenance report. The individual property owners in these schemes must maintain their lots, stores or properties. The body corporate as an entity, meanwhile, is responsible for the maintenance of all common areas.

The Challenges of the Body Corporate Maintenance Report

Needless to say, a body corporate maintenance scheme can be incredibly complicated to track. Particularly for larger community titles schemes, preparing body corporate maintenance reports is a daunting, tedious and convoluted process. Inspecting a home to make sure it is compliant with all relevant government codes and legislation is a big enough undertaking by itself. Preparing reports that chart the compliance of body corporate properties—be they shopping malls, business parks, townhouse complexes or other similar properties—compounds the challenges significantly. How can you be sure that every member of the body corporate is living up to their side of the bargain as far as maintenance is concerned?
