Hi, contrary to what JimmyT says below, I have recently been reliably informed that in NSW new By-Laws come into effect as soon as they are voted in, but it’s in your interests to do it sooner than sometime within the stupid two years that is allowed. Which is correct, please?
JimmyT said
New by-laws over-ride previous by-laws
Agreed
BUT only if they have been registered with the state authority. Until the new bylaws are registered they old ones apply (assuming they were registered).
When you buy a property your sol will obtain a copy of the current bylaws from the gov dept and these are the ones that are valid. Costs about $100 to obtain a copy from NSW land dept.
