    Have a look HERE.

    You will need to pass and register the other three by-laws as they should have been registered within six months of having been agreed. However, this is a good opportunity to review their intent and wording.

    You can’t just keep using your previous by-laws – the new ones listed in the link above now apply.

    141 Procedure for changes to by-laws
    (1) An owners corporation may, in accordance with a special resolution of the owners corporation, change the by-laws of the strata scheme.
    (2) A change to the by-laws of a strata scheme has no effect until:
    (a) the owners corporation has lodged a notification with the Registrar-General in the manner approved by the Registrar-General, and
    (b) the Registrar-General has made an appropriate recording of the notification in the folio of the Register for the common property.
    (3) The secretary of the owners corporation must keep a consolidated up to date copy of the by-laws for the strata scheme.
    (4) A notification cannot be lodged in the Registrar-General’s office more than 6 months after the passing of the resolution to make the by-law.
