Solar on the roof. Chargers in the car park. An AGM that reaches quorum. A maintenance plan that is worth the paper. These are the jobs that sit on a committee's list for years — not because they are hard, but because the rules are different in every state, the grants keep moving, and nobody has the time to work out where to start.
So we wrote it down. One guide per job, per place, against the law that applies to you.
9 jobs, written for the Unit Titles Act 2010. Pick the one you are trying to get through.

Read the guideEvery body corporate in New Zealand runs under the same statute — the Unit Titles Act 2010, administered by Unit Titles Services. The long-term maintenance plan is compulsory rather than advisory, and the 2022 amendment raised the disclosure and planning bar for every large development.
These jobs rarely stall on disagreement. They stall on the work of getting to a decision — the notice, the quotes, the motion, the vote, the minutes, the follow-up — which falls on volunteers who already have jobs. Quarter carries that part, so a committee spends its time deciding rather than administering.
Tell us what your building is trying to get through and we will show you exactly how Quarter would run it.
