New South Wales Consolidated Acts

STRATA SCHEMES MANAGEMENT ACT 1996 - SECT 11

11 Constitution of owners corporation

(1) The owners of the lots from time to time in a strata scheme constitute a body corporate under the name “The Owners-Strata Plan No X” (X being the registered number of the strata plan to which that strata scheme relates).

(2) An owners corporation is declared to be an excluded matter for the purposes of section 5F of the Corporations Act 2001 of the Commonwealth in relation to the whole of the Corporations legislation.

Note: This subsection ensures that neither the Corporations Act 2001 nor Part 3 of the Australian Securities and Investments Commission Act 2001 of the Commonwealth will apply in relation to an owners corporation. Section 5F of the Corporations Act 2001 of the Commonwealth provides that if a State law declares a matter to be an excluded matter in relation to those Acts, then the provisions of those Acts will not apply in relation to that matter in the State concerned.
