answer
No, this is not necessary as they were not changed.
- Yes. All strata schemes, regardless of when they were registered, must comply with the current legislation, being the Strata Schemes Management Act 2015.
- No. There are certain by-laws which apply to strata schemes which will depend on when the strata scheme was registered. Please see section 134 of the Strata Schemes Management Act 2015. A by-law can only be made, amended or repealed by way of a special resolution at a general meeting.
