Document Request
A Body Corporate must keep particular records and allow ‘interested persons’ to inspect and copy those records. Section 205 of the Body Corporate and Community Management Act 1997 provides the requirements for this access, and the relevant Regulation Modules advise of the applicable fees associated.

a mortgagee of a lot
the buyer of a lot
someone who satisfies the body corporate of a proper interest in the records (e.g. a tenant who wants information about living in or using a lot), or
the agent of someone on this list.
