Commerce Minister Lianne Dalziel today announced that the government will review the Unit Titles Act 1972. “Although this was a recommendation arising out of a 1999 report of the Law Commission, it has been the recent report of the Auckland Regional Council ‘Bodies Corporate and Intensive Housing in Auckland’ that has highlighted the urgency for this work,” Lianne Dalziel said. The ARC report identified a range of problems concerned with the way body corporates are required to operate under the current legislation. In particular, the report found that this was leading to practical difficulties in getting agreement to the on-going maintenance and effective management of these developments.
