The 22 sections of this Act are divided into 5 Parts: Preliminary (I); Strata Lots (II); Corporations (III); Registration and Dealings (IV); Management and administration (V). The term "strata" refers to titles to the ownership of not less than two self-contained units for residenial or business purposes being either detached buildings or divisions or sub-divisions of one or more buildings, which units may be divided horizontally or vertically from, and may have a common roof and common foundations with one or more other such units and may share the use of service buildings and other facilities in common, the whole being located on a single parcel of land under the management of a corporation established under this Act (sect. 2). Land may be sub-divided into strata lots in accordance with a strata plan which shall be registered in accordance with provisions of this Act and prescribed under the Registered Land Act (sect. 3). Section 4 outlines the requirements of a strata plan. The proprietor of all strata lots contained in any strata plan shall, upon registration of the plan, become a body corporate (sect. 5). Duties of a corporation are specified in section 6. Other provisions of this Act deal, inter alia, with shares of common property (sect. 13), easements (sects. 12 and 16), by-laws of the corporation for purposes of management, administration, and use of strata lots (sect. 15) and offences (sect. 20). The Act is completed by a two Schedules containing by-laws which shall apply to corporations not yet having proper by-laws.
