Why TAS needs its own book
Tasmania has no tiers and no lighter regime for small schemes, and it has two separate routes for enforcing a by-law, each with different powers. Many Tasmanian schemes also run without a manager at all.
The Act applies the same way to every scheme. A six-lot complex in Devonport carries the same obligations as a Hobart tower.
