3AB. Alternative boundaries for lots in single tier strata schemes
(1) Where this section applies the boundaries of any cubic space referred to in paragraph (a) of the definition of }floor plan~ in section 3(1) are, regardless of the exact location of the lines referred to in that paragraph ¾
(a) the external surfaces of the building occupying the area represented on that floor plan ¾
(i) including any thing that ¾
(I) is attached to and projects from the building; and
(II) is prescribed by the regulations to be included as part of a lot;
but
(ii) excluding any thing that is prescribed by the regulations not to be included as part of a lot;
or
(b) despite paragraph (a), where 2 lots ¾
(i) have a common or party wall, the centre plane of that wall; or
(ii) have buildings on them that are joined, the plane or planes at which they are joined.
(2) If under subsection (1) ¾
(a) the boundary of a lot is a part of a building that constitutes a permitted boundary deviation; and
(b) the part is destroyed and is not reinstated within one year, or a longer period allowed by a referee under section 103N, after the destruction,
the boundary referred to in paragraph (a) ceases to apply on the expiry of that period and the boundary in question becomes a vertical plane from the base line shown on the strata plan.
(3) Nothing in this section applies to a boundary of a lot or a part of a lot that is external to a building.
(4) Where this section applies it ¾
(a) displaces the operation of section 3(2)(a); but
(b) does not affect the operation of subsection (2)(b) of that section.
