The following is a list of the possible steps for amalgamation of two or more bodies corporate:

  • Send out correspondence asking for opinion on the proposal to amalgamate.
  • If feedback is positive, address all matters in the issues to be considered at committee level.
  • Prepare documentation.
  • Distribute correspondence with specifics also asking for lot owner feedback.
  • All existing bodies corporate must call general meetings, with a motion  (by resolution without dissent) to consent to amalgamation and to consent to the first community management statement of the amalgamated body corporate
  • Motions passed at general meeting
  • Surrender of all reciprocal easements
  • Obtain consent of local government
  • Lodge documents in Department of Natural Resources. No plan required.
  • New community management statement registered. New community titles scheme number issued.
  • Call and hold first annual general meeting for the new scheme.

When the request to affect the amalgamation is lodged with the Registrar of Titles, it must be accompanied by a copy of the resolutions made by each of the bodies corporate, or a copy of the Court Order (if that is how the decision to amalgamate was made), the appropriate consents and notifications, and the new community management statement.  (Land Titles Act Section 115W)
