101 Exemption from building insurance requirements
(1) If the replacement value of all common property buildings (or parts
of buildings) on the land is less than an amount prescribed by
regulation, the owners corporation may, by unanimous resolution,
exempt itself from the requirement to take out building insurance
under section 100 (1) for any risk stated in the exemption resolution.
(2) An owners corporation for a units plan containing only class B units
may, by unanimous resolution, exempt itself from the requirement to
take out building insurance for any risk stated in the exemption
resolution for all buildings (or parts of buildings) that are on the
class B units.
(3) An exemption resolution—
(a) under subsection (1)—has effect from the date of the annual
general meeting when it is passed until the date of the next
annual general meeting; or
(b) under subsection (2)—takes effect on the registration of the
resolution and continues until the day another unanimous
resolution amending or revoking the exemption resolution is
registered.
(4) An exemption resolution under subsection (2) or a resolution
amending or revoking the exemption under subsection (3) (b) must
be lodged under the Land Titles (Unit Titles) Act 1970, section 27B
within 3 months after the day the resolution is passed.
(5) If an exemption resolution under subsection (2) or a resolution
amending or revoking the exemption under subsection (3) (b) is not
lodged within 3 months after the day the resolution is passed, the
resolution is taken to have never been made.
Note An exemption resolution under this section does not affect the
requirement for an owners corporation to take out and maintain public
liability insurance (see s 102).
