I see that the Queensland Parliament Legal Affairs and Community Safety Committee has recommended yet another major change in the way that Body Corporate levies are set. The Body Corporate Levies Merry go Round continues.
Rather than go into great detail about how these changes may be achieved, let me sum up the situation as it has unfolded over the years.
Traditionally, the developer has set the levies for Body Corporate buildings. The levies were often based and calculated on factors like floor space and the value of the units.
It is important to understand that owners were aware of the levies at the time of purchase and it follows that they accepted them to be fair and reasonable. After all, if they thought the levies were unfair why would they go ahead and make the purchase?
