Supporting documentation

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

The documents you must include are:

  • copies of your written attempts to resolve the matter with the person you are lodging the application 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.
