Scheme Rule Enforcement: Supporting Fairness Without Fueling Conflict.
Community Scheme rules exist to protect the shared interests of all residents -but how they’re enforced can make or break the sense of community.
Here’s what Scheme Executives need to know:
- Conduct Rules must be formally adopted at a General Meeting and lodged with CSOS and approved with a Section 10 Certificate to be enforceable.
- Rule breaches should follow a documented and compliant process – based on the Scheme’s registered rules.
- Disputes can be escalated to the CSOS for independent resolution if internal steps fail.
At ANGOR, we support Scheme Executives with:
- Drafting infringement letters on instruction from the Scheme Executive or Estate Manager.
- Referencing the correct rule clauses and outlining consequences, such as potential fines, as per the Scheme’s registered rules.
- Sending approved letters to the relevant owners as part of our role as managing agent.
- Assisting with the CSOS registration of new or amended rules after they’ve been adopted by the Scheme.
We help ensure that rule enforcement follows the correct procedure – clearly, calmly, and legally.
