By-laws are an integral part of the administration of a body corporate.

The purpose of by-laws is to provide the committee with the power to regulate the use of lots, body corporate assets and common property.

1. There are a myriad of legislative requirements for a by-law to be valid (and if it is not valid it cannot be enforced);
2. The laws that govern by-laws change from time to time (making some by-laws obsolete or unenforceable); and
3. Changing by-laws is not necessarily a quick process.
