COMMUNITY TITLE ACT 2001 - SECT 29

Implied term in contract for sale of lot

    (1)     Until the development of a community title scheme is finished, the developer of the scheme warrants to a person who purchases a lot or a proposed lot of scheme land, or who is a prospective owner of a lot or a proposed lot of scheme land, that the development will be carried out in accordance with the scheme.

    (2)     A warranty under subsection (1)—

        (a)     is enforceable in the same way as a contractual warranty; and

        (b)     cannot be limited or excluded by contract.

    (3)     Without limiting the damages recoverable for breach of the statutory warranty, the owner or prospective owner of a lot may recover damages for the loss of a reasonably expected capital appreciation of the lot that would have resulted from completion of the development in accordance with the terms of the community title scheme.
