294D Content of building management statement

(1) A building management statement must contain provisions about the following—

(a) the supply of services to lots;

(b) rights of access to lots;

(c) rights of support and shelter;

(d) insurance arrangements.

(2) A building management statement may contain provisions about the following—

(a) the establishment and operation of a management group;

(b) the imposition and recovery of levies, how levy amounts are to be kept and how levy amounts are to be spent;

(c) property maintenance;

(d) architectural and landscaping standards;

(e) dispute resolution;

(f) rules for common services and facilities;

(g) administrative arrangements;

(h) arrangements for accomplishing the extinguishment of the statement;

(i) proposed future development.

(3) To remove doubt, it is declared that a right of access, support or shelter, or other right in the nature of an easement, under a building management statement may operate according to its terms, and may be effective, despite the absence of a formal registered easement establishing the right.

(4) A dispute resolution provision under a building management statement may operate to require the referral of a dispute arising under the statement other than to a court.

(5) However, the provision is ineffective to the extent that it purports to operate to stop final determination of the dispute in a court of competent jurisdiction.
