UNIT TITLES ACT 2001 - SECT 3 Dictionary The dictionary at the end of this Act is part of this Act. Note 1 The dictionary at the end of this Act defines certain terms used in this Act, and includes references ("signpost definitions") to other terms defined elsewhere. For example, the signpost definition 'owners corporation--see the Unit Titles (Management) Act 2011, dictionary.' means that the term 'owners corporation' is defined in that dictionary and the definition applies to this Act. Note 2 A definition in the dictionary (including a signpost definition) applies to the entire Act unless the definition, or another provision of the Act, provides otherwise or the contrary intention otherwise appears (see Legislation Act, s 155 and s 156 (1)). UNIT TITLES ACT 2001 - SECT 4 Notes A note included in this Act is explanatory and is not part of this Act. Note See the Legislation Act, s 127 (1), (4) and (5) for the legal status of notes. UNIT TITLES ACT 2001 - SECT 5 Parcels A "parcel" is land-- (a) proposed (in a unit title application) to be subdivided under this Act; or (b) comprising the whole of the land subdivided under this Act (as shown in a registered units plan). UNIT TITLES ACT 2001 - SECT 6 Unit title application A unit title application is an application under section 17 for the subdivision of land under this Act. UNIT TITLES ACT 2001 - SECT 7 Units plan (1) After a unit title application has been approved, there is a units plan consisting of the following documents mentioned in section 27 (Endorsement of units plan for registration): (a) diagrams showing the subdivision; (b) if the application provides for a staged development--the development statement; (c) the schedule of unit entitlement; (d) schedules of rent and lease provisions. (2) After those documents have been registered, the units plan consists of the registered documents as amended from time to time under this Act. UNIT TITLES ACT 2001 - SECT 8 Unit entitlement (1) The schedule of unit entitlement forming part of a units plan is a schedule indicating (by numbers assigned to each unit) the improved value of each unit relative to each other unit (the unit's unit entitlement). (2) For this Act, the total unit entitlement under a schedule of unit entitlement must be 10, 100, 1 000, 10 000 or 100 000. UNIT TITLES ACT 2001 - SECT 9 Units (1) A unit is a part of a parcel shown in a unit title application or a units plan as a unit. (2) After a units plan is registered, a "unit" of the units plan includes any unit subsidiary shown on the units plan as annexed to the unit. UNIT TITLES ACT 2001 - SECT 10 Class A units (1) A class A unit is a unit that is identified as a class A unit-- (a) before a units plan is registered--in the relevant unit title application; or (b) after the relevant units plan is registered--in the units plan. (2) After a units plan is registered, a "class A unit "of the units plan includes any unit subsidiary shown on the units plan as annexed to the unit. Note A unit title application must show a class A unit as part of a building bounded by reference to floors, walls and ceilings (see s 18). UNIT TITLES ACT 2001 - SECT 11 Class B units (1) A class B unit is a unit that is identified as a class B unit-- (a) before a units plan is registered--in the relevant unit title application; or (b) after the relevant units plan is registered--in the units plan. (2) After a units plan is registered, a "class B unit" of the units plan includes any unit subsidiary shown on the units plan as annexed to the unit. Note A unit title application must show a class B unit as land unlimited in height, except to the extent of any encroachment, whether at, above or below ground level, by another part of the parcel (see s 18). UNIT TITLES ACT 2001 - SECT 12 Unit subsidiaries A unit subsidiary is a part of a parcel identified as a unit subsidiary annexed to a unit-- (a) before a units plan is registered--in the relevant unit title application; or (b) after the relevant units plan is registered--in the units plan. Note A unit title application must show a unit subsidiary as a building (or part of a building) of a kind prescribed by regulation, or as a building (or part of a building) or land suitable for a purpose prescribed by regulation (see s 19 and Unit Titles Regulation 2001, s 3). UNIT TITLES ACT 2001 - SECT 12A Meaning of annexed A unit subsidiary or an easement that is stated by this Act to be annexed to a unit, common property or an estate in leasehold is taken to be appurtenant to the unit, common property or estate. Note Property in a unit subsidiary or easement that is, at law, 'appurtenant' to a unit, common property or a leasehold estate is transferred with that estate when the unit, common property or lease is transferred. UNIT TITLES ACT 2001 - SECT 13 Common property Common property is all the parts of a parcel identified as common property-- (a) before a units plan is registered--in the relevant unit title application; or (b) after the relevant units plan is registered--in the units plan. Note A unit title application must show as common property all parts of the parcel that are not shown as units or unit subsidiaries (see s 17 (2) (d)). UNIT TITLES ACT 2001 - SECT 14 Common boundaries--internal If a floor, wall or ceiling separates a class A unit or a unit subsidiary from common property or another unit or unit subsidiary, the common boundary lies along the centre of the floor, wall or ceiling, unless otherwise specified in the relevant unit title application or units plan. UNIT TITLES ACT 2001 - SECT 15 Common boundaries--external If a class A unit or a unit subsidiary is bounded by an external wall of the building containing the units, then, unless otherwise indicated in the relevant unit title application or units plan-- (a) the boundary of the unit or unit subsidiary lies along the centre of the wall; and (b) the part of the wall outside the boundary is common property. UNIT TITLES ACT 2001 - SECT 16 Minor boundary changes A minor boundary change is a change to the boundaries between units, or between units and the common property, to which all of the following criteria apply: (a) the change would not involve any change of the boundaries of the parcel; (b) the change would not substantially change the units plan, or the proposed units plan; (c) the change would not result in any inconsistency arising with the provisions of the lease under which any of the units, or the common property, is held; (d) approval under this Act or any other relevant territory law for the subdivision and development of the parcel would still have been given if the proposals for the subdivision of the parcel under this Act, or any other relevant development proposals, had shown the boundaries as they are proposed to be changed. UNIT TITLES ACT 2001 - SECT 17 Unit title applications--general requirements (1) The lessee of a parcel may apply to the planning and land authority for approval of the subdivision of the parcel under this Act. Note 1 A fee may be determined under s 179 for this section. Note 2 If a form is approved under s 180 for an application, the form must be used. (2) The application must provide for the subdivision of the parcel into-- (a) no fewer than-- (i) if 1 unit is wholly or partly superimposed on another unit--2 units; or (ii) in any other case--3 units; and (b) class A units or class B units, but not both; and (c) unit subsidiaries (if any are provided for in the application); and (d) common property (for the remaining parts of the parcel). Note The requirements for what may be shown as class A units, class B units and unit subsidiaries are set out in s 18 and s 19. (3) The application may provide for the development of all or some of the units and unit subsidiaries (their staged development) after the approval of the application. Note An application for a staged development may be approved only if-- (a) the development has development approval under the Planning and Development Act 2007 (see s 20 (3) and Planning and Development Act 2007, ch 7); and (b) for developments of class A units, the boundary floors, walls and ceilings of each unit have already been built in accordance with the development statement (see s 20 (3)). (4) The application must include-- (a) if the parcel is prescribed by regulation--a unit title assessment report that is not more than 3 months old; and (b) a plan prepared by a registered surveyor showing anything prescribed by regulation. Note Unit title assessment report--see s 22B. (5) If the application provides for a staged development, it must include-- (a) a development statement prepared in accordance with the regulations; and (b) on the completion of each stage of the development, the documents mentioned in subsection (4). (6) In this section: "stage", of a development, means a stage identified in the development statement. UNIT TITLES ACT 2001 - SECT 18 Unit title applications--class A units and class B units (1) A unit title application must show any class A unit as part of a building, with boundaries defined by reference to the floors, walls and ceilings of the building as shown in the application. (2) A unit title application must show any class B unit as land that has boundaries unlimited in height except to the extent of any encroachment at, above or below ground level by another part of the parcel.

(2) The application must show any unit subsidiary consisting of a building or part of a building with boundaries defined by reference to the floors, walls and ceilings of the building. (3) The application must show any unit subsidiary consisting of land as having boundaries unlimited in height except to the extent of any encroachment at, above or below ground level by another part of the parcel. (4) The application must show unit subsidiaries as annexed to a particular unit, but need not show unit subsidiaries as adjoining the unit. UNIT TITLES ACT 2001 - SECT 20 Unit title applications--approval (1) The planning and land authority may approve a unit title application if satisfied on reasonable grounds that-- (a) the application is in accordance with this Act; and (b) each unit is (or will be) suitable for separate occupation, and for a use that is not inconsistent with the lease of the parcel; and (c) the proposed schedule of unit entitlement is reasonable, having regard to the prospective relative improved values of the units; and (d) if the application shows an encroachment on a public place by an attachment to a building-- (i) if the attachment exists on the day the application is lodged with the authority--the attachment is an authorised existing attachment; or Note Authorised existing attachment--see s (10). (ii) in any other case-- (A) the encroachment would not endanger public safety or unreasonably interfere with the amenity of the neighbourhood; and (B) it is not in the public interest to refuse to approve the application because of the encroachment. (2) If a unit title application provides for staged development, the planning and land authority may approve a stage of the development (a development stage) as if the stage were a unit title application. (3) The planning and land authority may approve a development stage only if satisfied that-- (a) the development has development approval under the Planning and Development Act 2007, chapter 7; and (b) for a staged development of class A units--the boundary floors, walls and ceilings of each unit in the development stage have been built in accordance with the development statement. (4) Also, if a unit title application relates to a lease located within a prescribed zone, the planning and land authority may approve the application only if the lease states the number of units (however described) permitted on the land and the application is for not more than the permitted number of units. (5) The planning and land authority may refuse to approve the application if the lessee is in breach of the lease, or of a provision of (or requirement under) the Planning and Development Act 2007 that applies because the lessee is the lessee of the parcel. (6) The planning and land authority may refuse to approve the application if the proposed subdivision would be inconsistent with the requirements of the heritage register. (7) The planning and land authority may refuse to approve the application if-- (a) the applicant is required to provide the authority with a unit title assessment report under section 17 and-- (i) has not provided a unit title assessment report; or (ii) has provided a unit title assessment report that is more than 3 months old; or (b) the authority has asked for further information under section 22F and the applicant has not provided some or all of the information by-- (i) the end of the period stated in the request; or (ii) if the authority has extended the period within which the further information must be provided--the end of that period. (8) If a parcel is leased for rural purposes, the planning and land authority may approve the application only if-- (a) criteria have been determined by the authority for the approval of rural unit title applications; and (b) the application is in accordance with the criteria. (9) A determination under subsection (8) (a) is a disallowable instrument. Note A disallowable instrument must be notified, and presented to the Legislative Assembly, under the Legislation Act. (10) In this section: "authorised existing attachment", in relation to a unit title application, means-- (a) if the application includes the cancellation of a units plan (the "old plan") that was registered before 1 January 2002--the old plan shows the attachment; or (b) in any other case--the attachment was lawful when it was constructed. "prescribed zone" means a zone identified in the territory plan that is prescribed by regulation. "stage", of a staged development, means a stage identified in the development statement. UNIT TITLES ACT 2001 - SECT 21 Unit title applications--reasonable rent (1) If the planning and land authority considers that the rent proposed in a unit title application to be reserved for the lease of 1 or more units is not reasonable in the circumstances, the authority must determine what rent is reasonable for the relevant unit or units. (2) The total rent for all units, worked out in accordance with the planning and land authority's determination, must not exceed the rent payable under the lease of the parcel when the determination is made. (3) If the total rent for all units, worked out in accordance with the planning and land authority's determination, equals the rent payable under the lease of the parcel when the determination is made, a decision (under part 14 (Notification and review of decisions)) on an objection or review of the authority's determination must not change the total amount. UNIT TITLES ACT 2001 - SECT 22 Unit title applications--amendment of development statement by authority If a unit title application provides for a staged development, the planning and land authority may, before approving the application under section 20, amend the development statement if the authority considers it reasonable to do so to minimise the adverse effect of the development on anyone's amenity while it is taking place. Examples of people whose amenity may be affected 1 owners or occupiers of units 2 owners or occupiers of nearby premises 3 members of the public who regularly use the surrounding area Note An example is part of the Act, is not exhaustive and may extend, but does not limit, the meaning of the provision in which it appears (see Legislation Act, s 126 and s 132). UNIT TITLES ACT 2001 - SECT 22A Meaning of unit title assessor In this Act: "unit title assessor "means-- (a) a works assessor licensed under the Construction Occupations (Licensing) Act 2004; or Note Works assessor--see the Construction Occupations (Licensing) Act 2004, s 14A. (b) a building surveyor licensed under the Construction Occupations (Licensing) Act 2004 when providing a works assessment service. Note Building surveyor--see the Construction Occupations (Licensing) Act 2004, s 9. UNIT TITLES ACT 2001 - SECT 22B Unit title assessment reports (1) An applicant under section 17 (the applicant) may apply, in writing, to a unit title assessor for a report (a unit title assessment report). (2) The application must include any details or material prescribed by regulation. Examples 1 proposed unit title plans 2 information about a development approval Note 1 If a form is approved under s 180 for this provision, the form must be used. Note 2 An example is part of the Act, is not exhaustive and may extend, but does not limit, the meaning of the provision in which it appears (see Legislation Act, s 126 and s 132). (3) If a unit title assessor receives an application under subsection (1) and the unit title assessor agrees to undertake the work, the unit title assessor must-- (a) prepare a unit title assessment report and give it to the applicant; and Note 1 The report must be prepared and given to the applicant as soon as possible (see Legislation Act, s 151B). Note 2 The unit title assessor may refuse to prepare and provide a report if the unit title assessor does not have enough information (see s 22E). (b) not later than 5 working days after the day the assessor gives the report to the applicant--give a copy of the report to the planning and land authority. (4) If, after taking reasonable steps, an applicant cannot find a unit title assessor who will agree to prepare a unit title assessment report, the applicant may apply to the construction occupations registrar to appoint a unit title assessor to prepare a unit title assessment report and give it to the applicant. (5) A regulation may prescribe the requirements for a unit title assessment report, including-- (a) what the report must contain; or (b) anything that must accompany the report. UNIT TITLES ACT 2001 - SECT 22C Unit title assessment report applications--unit title assessor may require further information (1) This section applies if-- (a) a unit title assessor requires further information to prepare a unit title assessment report under section 22B; and (b) the applicant and the unit title assessor have not agreed that the unit title assessor will obtain the further information; and (c) the unit title assessor believes on reasonable grounds that the further information will help the unit title assessor to prepare the report. (2) The unit title assessor may, by written notice, ask the applicant to give the unit title assessor stated further information in relation to the application. (3) This section does not entitle a unit title assessor to require-- (a) photographs to be taken by someone other than the owner of the parcel of land; or (b) photographs to be taken using equipment other than equipment of the owner's choice; or (c) further information if-- (i) the unit title assessor has, or has reasonable access to, suitable information that allows the unit title assessor to decide the application without personally inspecting the land where the building work is to be carried out; or (ii) a territory law requires the unit title assessor to personally obtain or be given the information. Examples--suitable information unit title assessor has or has reasonable access to 1 The website www.actmapi.act.gov.au provides aerial photographs and topographical information including ground contours for some ACT areas. If the land to which an application relates is covered by the website, the photographs and contours have sufficient information, and are accurate and recent enough, to decide the application in relation to tree and ground-height related matters, the unit title assessor may not require further information or documents by way of photographs or topographical information in relation to trees and ground heights. 2 A unit title assessor may verify land tenure and permit and statutory approval matters by contacting the statutory custodians of the information to a sufficient degree to decide the application in relation to those matters. The unit title assessor may not require further information in relation to those matters. 3 The land to which an application relates is covered by www.actmapi.act.gov.au but, because the slope of the land to be built on is steeper than would be adequately shown on the website, the unit title assessor does not have suitable information to allow the unit title assessor to decide the application without personally inspecting the land. Another website has some topographical information on the land, but it is not of sufficient resolution, or recent enough, to be relied on by the unit title assessor in relation to ground heights to decide the application. The unit title assessor may require further information in relation to ground heights. Note An example is part of the Act, is not exhaustive and may extend, but does not limit, the meaning of the provision in which it appears (see Legislation Act, s 126 and s 132). (4) For this section, a unit title assessor that is a partnership inspects land personally if any partner inspects the land. UNIT TITLES ACT 2001 - SECT 22D Unit title assessment report applications--contents of request for further information (1) A request under section 22C must-- (a) state the period within which the further information asked for must be provided; and (b) if the further information is not a document--state that the further information must be provided in writing; and (c) state that the applicant need not provide the further information, but if the applicant fails to provide some or all of the information in accordance with the request, the unit title assessor may refuse to provide a unit title assessment report under section 22E; and (d) state that, despite the applicant and unit title assessor having previously not agreed that the unit title assessor would obtain the further information, the applicant and unit title assessor may agree that the unit title assessor will obtain the information. (2) The request may require the applicant to confirm all or part of any information provided by statutory declaration. (3) The period stated under subsection (1) (a) must be at least 20 working days or, if a shorter period is prescribed by regulation, the shorter period. (4) The unit title assessor may, on application before the end of the period stated under subsection (1) (a), extend the period within which the further information must be provided once only, for a period not longer than 20 working days. UNIT TITLES ACT 2001 - SECT 22E Unit title assessment report applications--effect of failure to provide further information (1) This section applies if-- (a) a unit title assessor has asked for further information under section 22C in relation to an application; and (b) the applicant has not provided some or all of the information by-- (i) the end of the period stated in the request; or (ii) if the unit title assessor has extended the period within which the further information must be provided--the end of that period; and (c) the applicant and the unit title assessor have not agreed that the unit title assessor will obtain the further information. (2) The unit title assessor may refuse to prepare and provide a unit title assessment report under section 22B. UNIT TITLES ACT 2001 - SECT 22F Unit title applications--authority may require further information (1) This section applies if-- (a) an applicant has provided a unit title assessment report under section 17; and (b) further information is needed for the planning and land authority to be able to decide the application under section 20; and (c) the authority believes on reasonable grounds that the further information will help the authority to decide the application (2) The authority may, by written notice, ask the applicant to give the authority stated further information in relation to the application. UNIT TITLES ACT 2001 - SECT 22G Unit title applications--contents of request for further information (1) A request under section 22F must-- (a) state the period within which the further information asked for must be provided; and (b) if the further information is not a document--state that the further information must be provided in writing; and (c) state that the applicant need not provide the further information, but if the applicant fails to provide some or all of the information in accordance with the request, the authority may refuse to approve the unit title application under section 20 (7). (2) The period stated under subsection (1) (a) must be at least 20 working days or, if a shorter period is prescribed by regulation, the shorter period. (3) The authority may, on application before the end of the period stated under subsection (1) (a), extend the period within which the further information must be provided once only, for a period not longer than 20 working days. UNIT TITLES ACT 2001 - SECT 23 Notice of approval of unit title applications (1) If the planning and land authority approves a unit title application for a parcel, the authority must give the lessee of the parcel-- (a) written notice of approval including-- (i) if the application provides for a staged development--a copy of the development statement, signed by the authority, as amended (if at all) under section 22; and (ii) particulars of any security required under section 24; and (b) a schedule setting out the rent to be reserved under the lease of each unit and the provisions subject to which the lease of the unit is to be held; and (c) a schedule setting out the provisions subject to which the lease of the common property is to be held. (2) The rent reserved under the lease of a unit as indicated in the schedule mentioned in subsection (1) (b) is the rent for that unit (including any unit subsidiary annexed to the unit) indicated in the application or as decided by the planning and land authority under section 21 (Unit title applications--reasonable rent). UNIT TITLES ACT 2001 - SECT 24 Security for staged developments and unfinished work (1) This section applies to-- (a) a staged development; or (b) any works (including, for example, landscaping, roadworks and work on driveways) required to give effect to a development provided for in an approved unit title application that (in the planning and land authority's opinion) will not be complete when the units plan is endorsed under section 27. Note An example is part of the Act, is not exhaustive and may extend, but does not limit, the meaning of the provision in which it appears (see Legislation Act, s 126 and s 132). (2) If this section applies, the planning and land authority may, by written notice to the lessee of the parcel, require the lessee to give a bond to the Territory providing security for-- (a) if it is a staged development--the completion of the development in accordance with the development statement; or (b) in any other case--the completion of the works, as provided for in the unit title application, within the time stated in the notice. Note If a form is approved under s 180 for a bond, the form must be used. (3) The required security must not exceed-- (a) for a staged development--10% of the total cost of the work required to be carried out to complete the staged development; or (b) in any other case--the amount required to complete the incomplete works under the notice. (4) If a bond is forfeited, the Territory is entitled to all of the security or to a lesser amount decided by the planning and land authority.

It also includes any commencement, amendment, repeal or expiry affecting this republished law to 30 March 2012 . The legislation history and amendment history of the republished law are set out in endnotes 3 and 4. Kinds of republications The Parliamentary Counsel's Office prepares 2 kinds of republications of ACT laws (see the ACT legislation register at www.legislation.act.gov.au): o authorised republications to which the Legislation Act 2001 applies o unauthorised republications. The status of this republication appears on the bottom of each page. Editorial changes The Legislation Act 2001, part 11.3 authorises the Parliamentary Counsel to make editorial amendments and other changes of a formal nature when preparing a law for republication. Editorial changes do not change the effect of the law, but have effect as if they had been made by an Act commencing on the republication date (see Legislation Act 2001, s 115 and s 117). The changes are made if the Parliamentary Counsel considers they are desirable to bring the law into line, or more closely into line, with current legislative drafting practice. This republication does not include amendments made under part 11.3 (see endnote 1). Uncommenced provisions and amendments If a provision of the republished law has not commenced, the symbol U appears immediately before the provision heading. Any uncommenced amendments that affect this republished law are accessible on the ACT legislation register (www.legislation.act.gov.au). For more information, see the home page for this law on the register. Modifications If a provision of the republished law is affected by a current modification, the symbol M appears immediately before the provision heading. The text of the modifying provision appears in the endnotes. For the legal status of modifications, see the Legislation Act 2001, section 95. Penalties At the republication date, the value of a penalty unit for an offence against this law is $110 for an individual and $550 for a corporation (see Legislation Act 2001, s 133).
