Committees
A residential park can have 1 home owners' committee. The committee is formed by an election organised by home owners of the park.
A member of the committee holds office for no more than 1 year, but may be re-elected and may be removed, at any time, by special resolution at a meeting of the home owners.
A majority of home owners may adopt a constitution governing the performance of the committee and the committee must comply with it. The committee may determine its own procedures and form sub-committees. The committee can choose to use a constitution however they can also operate without one.
A committee for a residential park deals with the park owner on behalf of the home owners about:
- the day-to-day running of the park
- any complaint or proposal about the park's operation raised by the home owners.
If a home owners' committee gives the park owner a notice of a complaint or proposal, the park owner must give the committee a written response that addresses the complaint or proposal within 21 days of receiving the notice.
The park owner must not restrict the home owners from establishing a home owners committee. The park owner must also not restrict the home owners committee from performing the committee’s function, nor restrict a home owner who is a member of the committee from performing a function as a member of the committee.
The Queensland Government and key industry stakeholders have developed a Home Owners Committee Handbook . The Handbook provides information for members of residential park Home Owners Committees of those thinking of starting one.
