How our by-law drafting service works

By-laws help support harmonious community living by setting clear expectations around how common property is used and how residents and visitors interact within a strata community.

Many owners only think about their by-laws when an issue arises. Regularly reviewing your by-laws can help identify opportunities to update outdated provisions, reflect changing legislation and better support the needs of your community.

Through PICA Group and Kemps Petersons Legal, owners and committees can access an end-to-end by-law service designed to simplify the process of creating, updating, registering and consolidating by-laws.

Discuss your requirements

Whether you're looking to introduce a new by-law, amend an existing one or understand how legislative changes may affect your scheme, our team can help you explore the available options and identify an approach that suits your community.

Number 2 icon

Draft or update your by-laws

Our legal specialists can prepare new by-laws or update existing ones to reflect your scheme's needs. By-laws are drafted with consideration for current legislation and the circumstances of your community. Where an existing by-law is no longer suitable or relevant, we can assist with amendments or replacement by-laws.

Number 3 icon

Assist with registration

Once a by-law has been approved, our legal team can manage the registration process, including preparing and lodging the required documentation with the relevant authority. This can help reduce the administrative workload for owners and committees while supporting the registration process.

Number 4 icon

Consolidate your by-laws

Over time, by-laws may be amended, replaced or repealed, making them more difficult to navigate. Our team can consolidate your by-laws into a single document that reflects current changes and presents them in a clear and logical format, making them easier for owners, residents and committees to reference.

Number 5 icon

Receive ongoing support

From straightforward updates to more complex by-law matters, our team can guide you through the process and help simplify the administration involved in managing your by-laws.
