Question: I wish to make contact with other owners of our complex. As a lot owner am I entitled to ask for a copy of the owners register from the manager and contact them or would I be contravening any privacy laws.

Answer: The owners corporation must make these records available to you, but may charge a reasonable fee for a copy of any record.

As an owner within an owners corporation you are entitled to inspect the records of the owners corporation pursuant to section 146 of the Owners Corporation Act 2006. The owners corporation must make these records available to you, but may charge a reasonable fee for a copy of any record. This fee must not exceed the prescribed maximum fee.
