When an ILUA is lodged for registration, the Registrar notifies certain people and organisations by mail and, for Area Agreements and Alternative Procedure Agreements, notifies the general public through newspaper advertisements of the agreement.
During the notification period (one month for Body Corporate Agreements and three months for Area Agreements and Alternative Procedure Agreements) certain people can oppose the registration.
