    The infurating thing is in QLD the Strata act allows for townhouses under a seperate set of rules (as opposed to appartments) which make perfect sense when applied to townhouses (effectively Torrens) but allows for common areas.

    Problem is developers don’t use it (I’ve been unable to find any defined this way anywere in Brisbane) and so just creating the regulation is not enough you have to force the developers to use it.

    Building format = appartments

    Standard format = townhouses

    I believe the same split applies to ACT as well
