Queensland regulation
This is a highly technical piece of Queensland legislation that governs how leasehold strata-title properties (i.e., buildings or complexes where you lease — rather than own — your individual unit or lot) within the South Bank precinct in Brisbane are managed and administered.
Think of it like the rulebook for a very specific type of apartment complex or commercial building at South Bank, where instead of owning your unit outright, you hold a lease (a long-term legal right to use the property) granted under the South Bank Corporation Act.
The regulation sets out detailed procedural rules across several key areas:

1. Plans and Registration Specifies the exact physical requirements for lodging property plans at the land registry — including paper size (A3 for plans, A4 for other documents), paper weight (density in grams per square metre), margin sizes, and how alterations must be initialled. The registrar (title office official) must maintain a register of these plans and record key details about each one.
2. Certificates and Documents Requires certain key documents — such as surveyors' certificates, body corporate certificates, and notices of name changes — to be in officially approved forms.
3. Elections (Body Corporate Governance) Lays out detailed rules for how lessees elect the chairperson, secretary, treasurer, and other committee members of the body corporate. This covers:
4. Record-Keeping Requires the body corporate to keep meeting minutes until the plan is extinguished (wound up), and financial records for 6 years.
5. Dispute Resolution Sets out the approved forms and procedures for requesting a summons or lodging appeals before a referee (the dispute resolver).
6. Exemptions Lists grounds on which a body corporate can apply for exemption from certain governance rules (e.g., where a lessee is a corporation, or all non-resident lessees consent).
If you lease a lot at South Bank and are part of a body corporate, this regulation directly controls how your building is governed, how your votes are counted, how disputes are resolved, and what records must be kept. Getting these procedures wrong could invalidate elections, registrations, or legal documents.
This regulation is essentially a modified version of a much older law — the Building Units and Group Titles Regulation 1980 — adapted specifically for South Bank's unique leasehold system. It is a schedule (attached list of rules) that sits within a broader regulatory framework. Many provisions from the original 1980 regulation were deliberately left out or changed to suit South Bank's context.
