Being based in South Brisbane (near the Mater Hospital) for over 12 years, P M Lee and Co Property and Business Lawyers have extensive involvement with the laws applying to the Southbank precinct.
There are many unique features of Southbank properties. All are Crown Leasehold, and all are Regulated by their own law, The Southbank Corporation Act.
There are a great many strata title developments, both residential and commercial in Southbank. Although The Body Corporate and Community Titles Act (BCCM Act) applies to 99% of strata developments in Queensland, it does not apply to Southbank properties, which are regulated by the Modified Building Units and Group Titles Act, (which is an appendix to the Southbank Corporation Act).
Disputes between strata title owners in Southbank, are not dealt with under the simple and user friendly dispute provisions of the BCCM Act, but must be handled under the much more complex Commercial Arbitration Act.
New developments are considered by Southbank Corporation under their particular regulations and policies, rather than going through the Brisbane City Council Planning procedures.
P M Lee and Co. has helped many owners in Southbank. We are familiar with the myriad of unusual laws that regulate development, and living in the Southbank Precinct. This experience allows P M Lee and Co to provide prompt and cost effective advice on any legal issues arising in Southbank. We look forward to applying our experience and expertise to your advantage.
