Body Corporate and Community Management Regulation 2008

This regulation may be cited as the Body Corporate and Community Management Regulation 2008.

This regulation commences on 30 August 2008.

The fees payable under the Act are stated in schedule 1.

This section applies for working out the amount of a fee expressed in this regulation as a number of fee units.

For the purpose of the Acts Interpretation Act 1954, section 48C(3), the amount is to be rounded—

if the result is not more than $100—to the nearest multiple of 5 cents (rounding one-half upwards); or

if the result is more than $100 but not more than $1,000—to the nearest multiple of 10 cents (rounding one-half upwards).

Example for paragraph (a)—

If a fee were 35 fee units and the value of a fee unit were $1.015, the number of dollars obtained by multiplying 35 by $1.015 would be $35.525. Because $35.525 is halfway between $35.50 and $35.55, it is rounded upwards, so the amount of the fee would be $35.55.

A person may apply to the commissioner for waiver of the fee prescribed for section 239(1)(c) of the Act.

The application must be made in the approved form.

For section 239(3) of the Act, the commissioner, in deciding whether payment of the fee would cause an applicant who is an individual financial hardship—

may consider whether the applicant holds a concession card; and

may require the applicant to provide documentary evidence to support the application.

Example of documentary evidence—
