13 Owners corporation may employ persons to assist in exercise of functions

(1) An owners corporation may employ such persons as it thinks fit to assist it in the exercise of any of its functions.

(2) An owners corporation must ensure that any person employed to assist it in the exercise of a function has the qualifications (if any) required by this Act for the exercise of that function.

Note: An owners corporation may employ such persons to assist it as, for example, caretakers and persons providing services to retirement villages. For example, a caretaker is required to be appointed under Part 4A. In addition, the Act requires certain functions to be performed by particular persons or persons having particular expertise. For example, section 24 places restrictions on the persons who can exercise functions relating to the finances and accounts of an owners corporation.

(3) An owners corporation may not delegate any of its functions to a person unless the delegation is specifically authorised by this Act.
