unit in a strata or community title development has the meaning given by subregulation 4A(6).

3A  Definition of a cyclone and when a cyclone ends or reintensifies

 (1) This regulation has effect for the purposes of the definitions of cyclone, end and reintensify in section 3 of the Act.

 (2) A cyclone is a nonfrontal low pressure system, of synoptic scale, that:

 (a) has developed over warm waters; and

 (b) has organised convection; and

 (c) has a maximum mean wind speed of 34 knots or greater that:

 (i) extends more than halfway around near the centre of the system; and

 (ii) has persisted for at least 6 hours.

Note: This definition describes tropical cyclones, which in the Act and this instrument are referred to as cyclones.

 (3) A cyclone ends at the earliest time (the downgrade time) when the following conditions are satisfied:

 (a) the low pressure system concerned:

 (i) no longer satisfies the condition in paragraph (2)(b); or

 (ii) no longer satisfies the condition in paragraph (2)(c);

  and has been designated by the Bureau as an extropical cyclone or posttropical cyclone;

 (b) in the opinion of the Bureau, the likelihood that the system will intensify to such an extent as to again satisfy the conditions in paragraphs (2)(b) and (c) at some time within 48 hours after the downgrade time is less than the likelihood that it will not.

 (4) If a cyclone ends because of subregulation (3) or (5) but the low pressure system concerned later intensifies to such an extent as to again satisfy the conditions in paragraphs (2)(b) and (c), it again becomes a cyclone, and is taken to reintensify at the time when it again meets the conditions in paragraphs (2)(b) and (c).

 (5) A cyclone that has reintensified ends at the earliest time (also the downgrade time) after it reintensified when the conditions in paragraphs (3)(a) and (b) are satisfied.

4  Eligible property

  For the purposes of paragraph (c) of the definition of eligible property in section 3 of the Act, tangible property that is on, in or under the seabed is prescribed.

4A  Definitions of strata or community title development and related terms

 (1) For the purposes of the definition of strata or community title development in section 3 of the Act, a strata or community title development is an arrangement covered by subregulation (2), (3) or (4).

 (2) This subregulation covers an arrangement:

 (i) the title (whether freehold or leasehold) to a portion of land is subdivided into separate freehold or leasehold titles relating to smaller portions of land within the firstmentioned portion; and

 (ii) property that is common between the owners or occupiers of the smaller portions is owned or managed by a single body corporate (however described); and

Example: An “owners corporation”.

 (3) This subregulation covers an arrangement under which:

 (a) a body corporate owns an interest (whether freehold or leasehold) in land; and

 (b) under the constitution of the body corporate, a holder of shares in the body has, or may be granted, a right to occupy or use some or all of the land, whether the right is by way of a lease or licence or otherwise.

Note: This kind of arrangement is commonly referred to as “company title”, and the body corporate is typically a company registered under the Corporations Act 2001.

 (4) This subregulation covers an arrangement if:

 (a) under the arrangement, an interest (whether freehold or leasehold) in land is held on trust; and

 (b) under the terms of the trust, a holder of an interest in the trust has, or may be granted, a right to occupy or use part of the land, whether the right is by way of a lease or licence or otherwise; and

 (c) the trustee of the trust is a body corporate; and

 (d) there are at least 2 distinct parts of the land for which paragraph (b) is satisfied.

 (5) For the purposes of the definition of body corporate in section 3 of the Act, the body corporate for a strata or community title development is the body corporate referred to subregulation (2), (3) or (4), as the case requires.

 (6) For the purposes of the definition of unit in section 3 of the Act, a unit in a strata or community title development consists of:

 (a) one of the smaller portions of land referred to in subparagraph (2)(a)(i) of this regulation; or

 (b) so much of the land referred to in paragraph (3)(a) of this regulation as may be occupied or used by the holder of particular shares in the body corporate; or

Amending laws are annotated in the legislation history and amendment history.

The legislation history in endnote 3 provides information about each law that has amended (or will amend) the compiled law. The information includes commencement details for amending laws and details of any application, saving or transitional provisions that are not included in this compilation.

The amendment history in endnote 4 provides information about amendments at the provision (generally section or equivalent) level. It also includes information about any provision of the compiled law that has been repealed in accordance with a provision of the law.

Editorial changes

The Legislation Act 2003 authorises First Parliamentary Counsel to make editorial and presentational changes to a compiled law in preparing a compilation of the law for registration. The changes must not change the effect of the law. Editorial changes take effect from the compilation registration date.

If the compilation includes editorial changes, the endnotes include a brief outline of the changes in general terms. Full details of any changes can be obtained from the Office of Parliamentary Counsel.

Misdescribed amendments

A misdescribed amendment is an amendment that does not accurately describe the amendment to be made. If, despite the misdescription, the amendment can be given effect as intended, the amendment is incorporated into the compiled law and the abbreviation “(md)” added to the details of the amendment included in the amendment history.

If a misdescribed amendment cannot be given effect as intended, the abbreviation “(md not incorp)” is added to the details of the amendment included in the amendment history.
