The BUGTA equivalent to a BCCM Form 13 is a Section 40 Certificate. The Section 40 consists of the following:

  • Certificate pursuant to Section 40 (listing office bearer details, breakdown of levies etc.)
  • Current Levy and Water Statements
  • Water Estimate
  • Insurance Fact Sheet

To obtain updated figures, we recommend requesting an Updated Section 40 Certificate. We offer this service for free within thirty days from the date the original certificate was issued.

If you require updated figures outside of the thirty-day period mentioned above, a new Section 40 Certificate must be ordered and paid for. 

Important Note: Our office cannot provide updated information over the phone. A new or updated certificate must be requested to obtain current information.

An application must be submitted to Body Corporate Services for approval prior to the installation of any Real Estate signage in Sanctuary Cove.

The Sanctuary Cove Resort Act 1985 (SCRA) sets out the requirements for a “scheme of development”. The minimum requirements are the establishment of a Primary Thoroughfare Body Corporate, a Secondary Thoroughfare (commonly referred to as the Principal Body Corporate) and the division of the scheme into zones. 

The Building Units & Group Titles Act 1980 (BUGTA) sets out the requirements for the operation and functions of a body corporate with respect to the maintenance, management and control of the common property for the benefit of all proprietors.

The Body Corporate and Community Management Act 1997 (BCCMA) commenced operation on 13 July 1997 and was amended on 4 March 2003.  The transitional provisions of the BCCMA stipulated that BUGTA (the Act which formally governed most bodies corporate) was to continue to be in force for Building Units Plans and Group Titles Plans registered under BUGTA, if their registration was for a specified Act.  The Sanctuary Cove Resort Residential Bodies Corporate are Group Titles Plans registered under BUGTA for a specified Act called the SCRA.

The Principal Body Corporate provides the following services to the proprietors of Sanctuary Cove Resort:

  • Security services
  • Maintenance and upgrades of the infrastructure and facilities in the residential neighbourhoods (such as roads, street lighting, waterways)
  • Landscaping of nature strips, community parks and gardens 
  • Waste management services 
  • Street sweeping
