The reforms align community schemes laws with strata schemes laws, simplifying the development process and providing more modern, flexible governance arrangements for developers, residents and commercial occupants of community lands.
NSW LRS and the ORG are working on the approved forms and new Guidelines for 1 December 2021.
Key changes to Community Land laws will:
- provide more flexibility for schemes with some requirements for unanimous resolutions to now be special resolutions
- make it easier for schemes to deal with association property and add land to a scheme
- new process for development contracts, which brings the process in line with the process for strata schemes
- tiered schemes can be simplified
- schemes will now be able to apply to NSW LRS for a termination of a community scheme instead of going to court
- an association can also create statutory easements
- introduces a new process of amalgamations
We will keep our customers updated on new Guidelines and Forms as the Community Land reforms move to commencement.
