Why QLD needs its own book
Queensland committees work inside a regulation module that sets what the committee can decide alone and what has to go to the owners. Get that wrong and a decision can be challenged.
Your committee can only spend up to certain limits without a general meeting. Most new members have no idea where those limits sit.
What's inside
- What the committee actually is, and what it can and cannot decide
- The two spending limits, and what happens when a job goes over them
- Your community management statement, regulation module and by-laws
- The administrative fund and the sinking fund, and why the sinking fund forecast matters more than anything else on the agenda
- Insurance, valuations and what to ask before renewal
- Who the BCCM Commissioner's Office is, and how disputes and adjudication actually work
- Contractors, quotes and checking a licence with the QBCC
- Your first ninety days on the committee
- How to conduct yourself on a committee, the part no legislation covers
Plain English throughout, with checklists, a glossary, worked conversations and ready-to-adapt wording for motions, minutes and contractor briefs. General information only, not legal advice.
