Supporting documentation

A large range of information may be relevant to your dispute. This is not a complete list, but it will give you an idea of the type of information the Commissioner or a conciliator may need.

The documents you must include are:

• copies of your written attempts to resolve the matter with the person you are lodging against
• if you are applying as the body corporate or committee—a copy of the committee or general meeting resolution that authorises you to do so
• if you are disputing a committee or general meeting decision—a copy of the resolution or minutes.

Other relevant documentation may include:

• a full copy of committee or general meeting notices or minutes
• relevant correspondence between the parties
• plans of buildings, lots or the common property clearly identifying areas that are related to the dispute
• photos
• invoices
• quotes
• professional reports (such as acoustic reports, engineering reports, etc).
• a copy of the community management statement (CMS) for the scheme
• by-law contravention notices
• legal advice
• title deeds
• other body corporate records (such as nomination forms, voting papers, proxy forms, etc.) that support the outcome you are seeking.

Please note: it is your responsibility (as the applicant) to provide all the relevant documents to support your application.
