What happens after you lodge

The sequence

1. Reference number

   You get one the moment you lodge. Quote it in every message.

2. Review, within one business day

   A person reads the notice, the declaration and the document, and accepts it, holds it for more evidence, or declines it with the reason.

3. The owners corporation is told first

   It receives what was lodged, the publication date, how to reply, and the ways a notice ends. Nothing is public yet.

4. Fourteen days to reply

   The owners corporation may reply, mark the matter resolved by resolution, or do nothing. You are told when it replies.

5. Published on day fifteen

   The notice appears on the building's page with the reply, or with "no reply received". You, the owners corporation and anyone watching the building are told.

6. The life of the notice

   You can mark it resolved, correct a fact or withdraw it. Complaints start a seven-day review. A court order is acted on at once. After the set time the notice is archived.

What you are responsible for

You remain legally responsible for your notice. Stick to provable facts, keep the document you relied on, and tell us when the position changes. A notice cannot include dollar figures or opinions.
