6 Legislative framework
This Act provides for a form of subdivision of land referred to as subdivision by a community scheme and sets out requirements for that form of subdivision.
Relevant planning approvals must be obtained under the Planning and Development Act 2005 for the subdivision of land by a community scheme.
Each community titles scheme comprised in a community scheme is to be incorporated in the Register, and certificates of title for lots in the scheme are to be created for community titles, under the Transfer of Land Act 1893.
Consequently, this Act must be read together with the Planning and Development Act 2005 and the Transfer of Land Act 1893 to gain a proper understanding of the legislative framework for the subdivision of land by a community scheme.
This Act also contains provisions about the governance and operation of community schemes and about scheme managers.
Note for this section:
The following sections explain how a community scheme is a scheme for the subdivision of a parcel of land by various tiers of community titles schemes.
