Hi. Our EC is currently going through the process of trying to formalise all of our bylaws and add needed bylaws regarding renovation. I’ve been on this site for hours, and everyone keeps saying ‘go to LPI site’ to get your bylaws. I have spent quite a long time on that site, and while I have successfully accessed our Strata Title Document that lists the bylaws that have been registered, I am at a loss at how I actually find the place where I request the bylaws themselves. Can anyone give me more advice about where I should be looking? (Past going to LPI – but the next step?). Thanks.

If so, you may have to go into the lands office to see the records in person.
Otherwise, by checking your Strata Management Scheme issued when the scheme was first established, you should be able to firstly see what the bylaws that were accepted at your scheme’s first AGM were, then check the minutes of every other general meeting held subsequently and correlate the list of registered by-laws with the minutes of the meetings at which they were approved.

danni – like Jimmy, I’m assuming you’ve obtained a copy of your Scheme’s Certificate of Title, where one of the Schedules shown on it will list the various “Dealings” against that Title including all Special-By Laws (SBL) that have been properly Registered.
They’ll be shown in numerical order, followed by a dealing number – typically having two (2) letters and and eight (8) numerals; like AF30234567.
Once you’ve written down each of those dealing numbers, open THIS page on the L&PI Website, type in the details, and after the on-line payment of $12.70, a copy of each Registered Dealing (in this case a SBL) will be sent to your device as an executable pdf document.
Remember though that this methodology will only find any SBL’s that have been properly resolved at General Meetings of your Owners Corporation and subsequently Registered using THIS form, as the so-called “Model” or standard By-Laws for Residential Strata Schemes contained in Schedule 1 to the NSW Strata Schemes Management Act and in Schedule 2 to the Regulation apply to Schemes whose Titles were Registered after 1996 and 2010 respectively once the first (ever) Annual General Meeting of such Schemes so resolves; as is routinely the case.
