In Queensland, what is the legal effect of a community titles scheme created under the Body Corporate and Community Management Act 1997?

Correct Answer

B) It creates separate lots plus common property, run by a body corporate

The BCCM Act 1997 allows land to be subdivided into individual lots (each with its own title) and common property, managed by a body corporate that all lot owners are automatically members of.

Answer Options
A
It creates leasehold interests only, with the developer keeping the freehold
B
It creates separate lots plus common property, run by a body corporate
C
It transfers the lots into Crown ownership, with owners holding occupation permits
D
It allows lots to be sold before a survey plan is registered

Why This Is the Correct Answer

A community titles scheme under the Body Corporate and Community Management Act 1997 (Qld) divides scheme land into lots with their own titles and common property. A body corporate, whose members are all the lot owners, manages the common property and enforces the by-laws.
