Attorney General (Fees) Amendment Determination 2012 (No 2) 
Disallowable instrument DI2012–49
made under the 
Unit Titles (Management) Act 2011, s 119 (Unit Titles certificates and access to owners corporation records)
EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

The maximum fee payable by a person to the owners corporation to inspect its records under section 119(3) of the Unit Titles (Management) Act 2011 was previously prescribed by regulation under section 75(4) of the Unit Titles Act 2001.

The amount prescribed of $0 for a request to inspect the owners corporation records where a unit title certificate is also requested (where the fee for the unit title certificate has been paid in accordance with section 119(5)) was previously prescribed in the Unit Titles Regulation 2001. 

The maximum fee payable for a request to inspect the owners corporation records where a unit title certificate has not been requested was $80 plus GST.  The maximum fee has remained the same since 1 July 2009.

To ensure that the fee remains current, the $80 maximum amount has been increased by the Wage Price Index (WPI) forecast of 3.5% provided for in the Attorney General (Fees) Determination 2010 (repealed) and a further 3.5% provided for in the Attorney General (Fees) Determination 2011 and rounded to the nearest dollar.

The maximum fee payable to owners corporations under section 119 for the production of a unit title certificate has been placed in the Attorney General (Fees) Determination 2011 so that the maximum fee will continue to be increased in accordance with future increases in the WPI.
