Why SA needs its own book
South Australia runs two Acts at once. Depending on when your land was divided, your corporation sits under the Strata Titles Act 1988 or the Community Titles Act 1996, and a great deal turns on which.
Two Acts run side by side in South Australia. Which one governs you depends on when your building was divided.
