What legislation governs Queensland body corporates?

Queensland body corporates are governed primarily by the Body Corporate and Community Management Act 1997 (BCCM Act). The BCCM Act is supplemented by one of five module regulations, which provide detailed rules for different types of schemes: - **Standard Module** — applies to most residential schemes - **Accommodation Module** — applies to schemes primarily used for short-term accommodation - **Commercial Module** — applies to non-residential commercial schemes - **Small Schemes Module** — applies to schemes of 6 lots or fewer - **Specified Two-lot Schemes Module** — applies to two-lot schemes that opt in The community management statement identifies which module applies to a particular scheme. The Act and the relevant module together govern everything from levy collection to dispute resolution. This article is general information only and not legal advice.
