Buying another owner’s car park can be one of the most useful upgrades available to a Queensland apartment owner. In a building where parking is scarce, a second secure bay can make day-to-day life easier, remove dependence on street parking and broaden the appeal of the apartment when it is eventually sold. The transaction can also be surprisingly achievable when the car park is already an exclusive use area and the scheme documents allow the allocation to be moved from one lot to another.
The important part is understanding what is actually being bought. A painted rectangle in a basement may be part of somebody’s apartment lot, a separate titled lot, common property allocated to a particular apartment under an exclusive use by-law, visitor parking, or simply an area that residents have used informally for years. Each has a different legal pathway. Before discussing price, payment or handover of the garage remote, the buyer needs to identify which one applies.
Start With The Legal Status Of The Car Park
Car parking in Queensland community titles schemes is not organised in one standard way. Two spaces beside each other in the same basement can have completely different legal status. One might form part of an apartment lot, another might be common property subject to an exclusive use allocation, while a third might be visitor parking that no individual owner is entitled to claim permanently.
The current community management statement, survey plan, title documents and exclusive use plans are therefore more important than the bay number painted on the floor. They show whether the owner actually owns land, holds the benefit of an exclusive use right, or merely has permission or an informal arrangement to use the space.
This distinction matters because common property in a Queensland community titles scheme is owned collectively by the lot owners in the proportions prescribed by their interest schedule lot entitlements. An individual owner cannot simply carve off their share of common property and sell it separately. Where a car park remains common property, what may be transferred between owners is usually the benefit of a properly established exclusive use allocation rather than ownership of the concrete itself.
The Most Common Scenario Is An Exclusive Use Car Park
Many apartment buildings use exclusive use by-laws to allocate basement car spaces. Under the Body Corporate and Community Management Act 1997, an exclusive use by-law attaches to a lot and gives the occupier of that lot exclusive use, or other special rights, over identified common property or a body corporate asset.
A car park allocated this way still belongs to the scheme as common property. The apartment owner nevertheless has a strong private right to use it because the allocation is attached to the lot. When that apartment is sold, the benefit ordinarily remains with the lot rather than disappearing when the individual owner leaves.
This is why owners often describe an exclusive use bay as being “their car park”. In practical terms that description makes sense, but legally it is different from owning a separately titled parcel of land. The difference becomes important the moment somebody wants to sell the bay to another resident.
Can One Owner Sell An Exclusive Use Car Park To Another?
Potentially, yes. Queensland legislation specifically provides for agreed reallocations of exclusive use areas between lot owners. In an appropriate scheme, owners can enter into a written reallocation agreement under which existing exclusive use allocations are redistributed between their lots. A payment can form part of the commercial arrangement between the owners, which is why these transactions are commonly described as selling or buying a car park even though the underlying common property itself is not being sold.
The legislation defines a reallocation agreement as a written agreement under which two or more owners of lots for which allocations are in place agree to redistribute those allocations between their lots. The exact wording of the scheme’s exclusive use by-law and its existing allocations still needs to be checked. It should not be assumed that every arrangement described commercially as a “sale” will automatically qualify as a straightforward statutory reallocation.
Where the transaction does fit the reallocation provisions, it can be considerably simpler than creating a completely new exclusive use right. The physical parking area already exists, the right already exists within the scheme, and the transaction is essentially changing which participating lot receives the benefit of the relevant allocation.
A Reallocation Is Not The Same As Creating A New Car Park
This distinction is one of the most important parts of the process. Moving an existing exclusive use allocation between lots is fundamentally different from asking the body corporate to turn previously unallocated common property into a new private car park.
If two owners are redistributing existing exclusive use allocations in accordance with the statutory process, a general meeting resolution is not ordinarily required merely to approve the commercial bargain between those owners. Queensland Government guidance expressly recognises that existing exclusive use areas can be reallocated between owners and that the body corporate must then record the changed allocation.
Creating a new exclusive use right is different. If an owner wants to claim an unused corner of the basement, convert another common property area into private parking or obtain exclusive use over an area that has never previously been allocated, the body corporate may need to approve a new exclusive use by-law. Under the Body Corporate and Community Management Act 1997, that generally involves a resolution without dissent and the consent of the owner receiving the benefit, followed by recording of a new community management statement.
The commercial conversation may sound similar in both cases, because an owner is ultimately trying to obtain an extra parking space. Legally, however, reallocating an established right and creating a new one are very different transactions.
The Agreement Must Be In Writing
An informal agreement between neighbours is not enough for a statutory reallocation. The reallocation agreement must be in writing and should identify the participating lots, the existing exclusive use allocations and exactly how those allocations are to be redistributed.
If money is changing hands, the agreement should also address the price, deposit arrangements, settlement timing, professional costs, responsibility for preparing the new community management statement, cooperation with the body corporate, access devices and what happens if the transaction cannot be properly recorded. Where one owner is relinquishing a valuable second car park, both parties should know exactly when the commercial transaction becomes unconditional and when the money is released.
The agreement also needs to work with the statutory timing rules. A loosely written contract that assumes everything can be sorted out later may leave the buyer paying for a right that is not ultimately recorded in the form expected.
Giving The Reallocation To The Body Corporate Is Essential
An agreed allocation has no effect under the legislation unless details of it are given to the body corporate. That is a critical step. The parties should not treat execution of the private agreement, payment of the price or physical handover of the space as the end of the transaction.
Once the body corporate has been properly notified, the scheme records need to catch up with the agreement. The body corporate must lodge the required new community management statement showing the allocations currently in place.
This formal recording matters for far more than administrative neatness. Years later, a prospective buyer, conveyancer, lender or body corporate committee should be able to establish from the registered documents that the extra parking space belongs to the benefit of the correct apartment. Nobody should have to reconstruct the history from old emails between previous owners.
The Three-Month Deadline Can Make Or Break The Transaction
Queensland legislation imposes an important timing requirement on further agreed allocations. Within three months after the further allocation takes effect, unless an adjudicator has allowed a longer period, the body corporate must lodge a request to record a new community management statement showing the allocations then in place.
If that does not occur within the required period, the further allocation can cease to have effect. An adjudicator has powers concerning extensions in appropriate circumstances, but that is not something a buyer should plan to rely upon after paying a substantial price for a car park.
The safer structure is to deal with registration from the beginning. The agreement should make clear when the reallocation takes effect, when the body corporate is to be notified, who is responsible for progressing the new community management statement and what happens to the purchase money if the required recording is not completed.
A historical Queensland dispute involving the reallocation of car parking and storage rights illustrates why these details matter. Agreements, disclosure documents and expectations can continue for years while the registered community management statement tells a different story. Fixing the records later is generally more difficult than getting them right when the transaction occurs.
Does The Body Corporate Have To Vote On It?
Owners sometimes assume that buying another owner’s exclusive use car park will require every other owner in the building to vote on the transaction. That is not necessarily the case. A genuine agreed reallocation of existing exclusive use allocations is treated differently from the creation of a new exclusive use by-law, and Queensland Government guidance states that a general meeting resolution is not necessary for the reallocation itself.
The body corporate nevertheless has an important administrative role because it has to receive details of the allocation and arrange for the new scheme documentation to be recorded. Depending on the scheme, its manager, committee, solicitor or another professional may become involved in preparing or signing the necessary documentation.
The distinction is useful when negotiating with another owner. A buyer should first establish whether the proposal is truly a redistribution of existing allocations. If it is actually an attempt to alter the physical parking layout, create a new exclusive use area, surrender common property, interfere with another allocation or change the legal structure of a lot, the approval requirements can be considerably greater.
Swapping Bays Is Usually Easier Than Moving The Physical Car Park
There is another distinction that is easy to miss. Two owners might simply want to exchange the rights to existing bays. The parking areas remain exactly where they are, but the allocation attached to each apartment changes. That is a classic reallocation scenario.
Moving the physical location or boundaries of a car park can be more involved. Changing line marking, extending a bay into a manoeuvring area, using part of a driveway, relocating a visitor bay or creating parking over previously unallocated common property may involve new plans, body corporate approvals, building requirements or planning considerations.
For that reason, a buyer should not assume that a seller’s offer to provide “the space beside mine instead” is legally equivalent to transferring the seller’s existing recorded allocation. If the proposed space does not match the exclusive use plans, more than a simple reallocation may be required.
Visitor Parking Needs Particular Caution
Visitor spaces are not an easy source of extra resident parking. They may exist because of planning requirements affecting the development and can be identified in approved plans or scheme documents as parking intended for visitors rather than individual residents.
Converting visitor parking to exclusive resident use can therefore raise issues that do not arise when two residents simply exchange existing private allocations. The body corporate may need to consider planning approvals, the number of visitor bays that must remain available, access arrangements and the effect on the other owners and occupiers.
A resident should not pay another owner for a visitor bay merely because that owner has been parking there for years. Long-standing use does not, by itself, establish that the person has a transferable exclusive use right. The current registered documents and relevant approvals need to confirm the position.
What If The Car Park Is A Separate Titled Lot?
Some parking spaces are genuine lots in their own right. A separately titled car park may have its own lot and plan description, title reference and registered owner. In that situation the buyer is not simply acquiring an exclusive use benefit over common property. The buyer is purchasing a legal interest in land.
The transaction then resembles a conventional property transfer. Title searches, contract preparation, settlement, registration, duty, mortgage releases and other conveyancing issues may need to be considered. The car park lot may also carry its own body corporate membership, lot entitlements and levy obligations depending on the structure of the scheme.
The fact that the car park is physically inside an apartment basement does not alter its legal status. If it is genuinely a separate lot, a body corporate by-law also cannot simply prevent the transfer, mortgage or other dealing with that lot. The Body Corporate and Community Management Act 1997 limits the ability of by-laws to restrict dealings with lots.
The body corporate can still regulate matters such as conduct, access, parking use and compliance with lawful by-laws. Those powers are different from ownership of the car park itself or a general right to veto the transfer of a separately titled lot.
“On Title” Can Mean Several Different Things
The expression “on title” causes a surprising amount of confusion in apartment parking. An owner may use it to mean the car park appears on an exclusive use schedule linked to their apartment. Another may mean the bay lies within the actual boundaries of the apartment lot. A third may mean it is a completely separate titled car park lot.
Those descriptions are not legally interchangeable. If the price of the transaction depends on the buyer receiving a permanent property right, the documents should establish exactly which interest exists rather than relying on how the seller, agent or building manager describes it.
Historic sales advertisements are particularly unreliable for this purpose. A previous listing may say that an apartment has “two car parks on title” even though the registered survey and community management statement show something more complicated. The current registered documentation should control the due diligence process.
A Car Park That Forms Part Of An Apartment Lot Is Harder To Separate
A third possibility is that the car space sits within the boundaries of the seller’s apartment lot. The owner then has ownership of that land as part of the lot, but that does not necessarily mean the owner can sell the parking component separately.
Separating it may require a reconfiguration of the existing lots, survey work, amendments to the community management statement and potentially planning or titles processes. Lot entitlements and other scheme information may also need to change. This is far removed from an exclusive use reallocation.
Someone wanting to buy such a space should obtain legal and surveying advice before agreeing to a price. A seller’s willingness to transfer the bay does not prove that the existing title structure allows it to be detached from the apartment.
Check The Current Community Management Statement, Not An Old Copy
Exclusive use allocations can change over the life of a building. Car parks may have been exchanged between owners, storage cages may have moved, new community management statements may have been recorded and mistakes can occur when documents are replaced.
The buyer should therefore obtain the current registered community management statement and examine the relevant exclusive use schedule and plans. If there is any inconsistency, obtaining earlier versions of the community management statement can help establish how the allocation developed and whether a previous reallocation was properly completed.
This becomes especially important where the seller says the bay has “always belonged” to their apartment but the current documentation does not clearly support that statement. Paying first and investigating later reverses the order that a careful property transaction should follow.
Body Corporate Records Can Reveal Problems The CMS Does Not Explain
The community management statement establishes the formal position, but the body corporate records can provide useful context. Minutes, correspondence, improvement approvals and previous parking disputes may reveal that the bay has been the subject of a disagreement, informal swap, proposed relocation or unauthorised alteration.
Records can also reveal practical matters affecting the value of the space. Planned concrete repairs, waterproofing works, changes to access control, EV charging projects, basement remediation or proposed changes to parking management may influence how useful the space will be.
A buyer considering a significant payment for a second bay should approach the records search in much the same way as other apartment due diligence. The objective is not merely to confirm that a number appears beside a lot. It is to understand what right exists and what responsibilities travel with it.
Agree Who Pays The Professional And Registration Costs
Even a straightforward reallocation can involve legal drafting, preparation of the replacement community management statement, body corporate administration and Titles Queensland registration fees. If plans need amendment or a surveyor becomes involved, costs can rise further.
The legislation does not remove the need for the parties to agree commercially who will ultimately bear those expenses. A seller may want the buyer to pay everything because the buyer is obtaining the benefit. The buyer may argue that the purchase price already reflects the seller giving up the space. Another arrangement may divide the costs.
The important point is to settle the issue in writing rather than discover late in the process that the owners, body corporate and body corporate manager each expected somebody else to pay.
Do Not Pay The Full Price Merely Because You Have The Remote
Physical access is not the same as a completed legal reallocation. Receiving the remote control, parking in the bay and placing a new number on the wall may make the transaction feel complete while the registered scheme documents still attach the space to somebody else’s apartment.
A solicitor can structure the transaction so that payment and completion are connected to the steps required to establish the buyer’s rights properly. Depending on the arrangement, money may be held pending satisfaction of agreed conditions rather than being handed directly to the seller at the beginning.
This becomes increasingly important as the value of the space rises. In some buildings a second car park can materially change the value and marketability of an apartment. A transaction involving that level of value deserves more protection than a sequence of text messages between neighbours.
Check Whether The Seller’s Apartment Is Mortgaged
An exclusive use car park may contribute to the market value of the seller’s apartment. If that apartment is mortgaged, removing a valuable parking benefit from the lot can potentially concern the lender holding security over the property.
The precise effect depends on the documents and circumstances, so mortgagee consent should not simply be assumed either to be required or unnecessary. It is an issue for the seller’s solicitor to identify before the transaction reaches the point where the buyer has paid money and expects the seller to deliver the right.
Co-ownership also needs attention. Where the apartment is owned by more than one person, all necessary owners should be parties to the transaction. An agreement signed by only one member of a jointly owned lot can create obvious problems.
A Tenant May Already Have The Right To Use The Space
If the seller’s apartment is rented, the tenancy arrangement should be checked as well. The tenant may have rented the apartment on the basis that a particular car park was included. Removing that parking facility during the tenancy may create practical or contractual problems even though the apartment owner intends to give up the exclusive use allocation permanently.
The buyer should therefore establish when vacant use of the bay can actually be delivered. It is possible for the legal reallocation and physical availability of the car park to operate on different timelines if a tenant, family member or other occupier is still using it.
Access devices need similar attention. Garage remotes, swipe cards, number-plate recognition registrations and building security permissions may all need to be changed once the transaction is completed.
The Exclusive Use By-Law Determines What You Can Do With The Space
Buying the benefit of an exclusive use car park does not necessarily give the buyer unlimited use of the surrounding area. Many exclusive use by-laws state that the space is to be used for vehicle parking only. That can prevent the owner from turning the bay into a general storage area or installing structures without further approval.
The wording should be checked before a buyer pays extra because they intend to use the space for bicycles, surfboards, boxes, trailers, cabinets or a storage cage. A generously sized parking bay is not automatically a private storeroom simply because other residents have accumulated belongings in theirs.
The general by-laws remain relevant as well. Exclusive use does not place the area outside the rules applying to the scheme.
Storage Cages, Bollards And EV Chargers Are Separate Decisions
Owners increasingly want to improve their parking spaces after acquiring them. A second bay may appear ideal for an EV charger, lockable bollard, storage enclosure, bicycle rack or other fixture. The right to use the car park does not necessarily include a right to carry out those works.
An exclusive use by-law can expressly authorise specified improvements. If it does not, body corporate authorisation may be required. Under the Queensland regulation modules commonly applying to community titles schemes, improvements to an exclusive use area valued above $3,000 generally require authorisation by ordinary resolution, while smaller improvements may potentially be dealt with at committee level depending on the applicable provisions and circumstances.
EV charging can involve considerably more than mounting a charger beside the bay. Electrical capacity, common property cabling, metering, switchboards, fire safety, insurance, future maintenance and allocation of electricity costs may all need consideration. Those issues should be investigated separately from the acquisition of the parking right.
Maintenance Responsibilities Can Move With The Benefit
An exclusive use allocation can carry obligations as well as value. The applicable regulation module and the wording of the exclusive use by-law may make the benefiting lot owner responsible for maintaining the allocated area and paying operating costs connected with it.
For a simple basement bay the obligations may be modest, perhaps involving cleaning or damage caused by the owner’s use. Other exclusive use areas can include gates, storage structures, mechanical parking equipment, electrical installations or other improvements that require ongoing expenditure.
There are also limits to what can be transferred to an owner by default, particularly in building format plan schemes where structural elements, roofing membranes and certain parts of the building remain body corporate responsibilities. The by-law should be read rather than relying on assumptions about who maintains what.
The Body Corporate Can Still Need Access
Exclusive use gives the occupier a private use right, but the area remains part of a broader building. The body corporate can have lawful reasons to enter an exclusive use area to inspect or perform work it is authorised or required to carry out.
Basement parking areas frequently contain or provide access to drains, fire systems, ventilation equipment, structural components, electrical infrastructure and other common property. Maintenance or major building work may therefore require the car park to be temporarily cleared or accessed.
A buyer paying a premium for a well-positioned bay should understand this practical limitation. Exclusive use provides substantial control over ordinary use of the space, but it does not make common property inaccessible to the body corporate when legitimate building work is required.
Renting Another Owner’s Car Park Can Be An Alternative
Not every owner needs a permanent acquisition. If the extra space is required for only a few years, renting a car park from another resident can be cheaper and simpler. The legality and structure of the rental still depend on the nature of the space and the applicable by-laws, particularly if the person using the bay is not an occupier within the building.
The main difference is security. A lease, licence or private rental arrangement usually does not add a permanent second parking allocation to the apartment in the same way as a properly completed exclusive use reallocation. The arrangement may end when the other owner sells, when the agreed term expires or when another contractual event occurs.
For an owner trying to improve their apartment for the long term, paying more for a permanent recorded reallocation may therefore make commercial sense. For somebody who simply needs temporary parking for a second vehicle, renting may achieve the practical result without restructuring the scheme records.
How Much Is Another Car Park Worth?
There is no standard Queensland price for a second apartment car park. Its value is intensely local and can vary even between bays in the same basement. Scarcity tends to matter most. A car park can be far more valuable where street parking is difficult and most apartments have only one secure space than in a building surrounded by plentiful alternative parking.
The physical quality of the bay matters as well. Width, length, height clearance, proximity to the lift, security, manoeuvring room and whether another vehicle can block access all influence usefulness. Side-by-side parking is generally more convenient than tandem parking where one vehicle must regularly be moved to release the other.
The apartment itself should also be considered. A second car park may have greater value when attached to a large two-bedroom or three-bedroom apartment likely to attract households with two vehicles. In some markets it can also separate the property from competing apartments when it is eventually sold.
That does not mean the amount paid for the car park will necessarily be added dollar-for-dollar to the future value of the apartment. The buyer should consider both personal utility and likely resale appeal rather than assuming the transaction is automatically an investment profit.
Think About The Seller’s Apartment As Well
A seller giving up a car park is not merely converting an unused bay into cash. They may also be reducing the future appeal of their own apartment. An apartment originally marketed with two secure spaces may compete differently if it later comes to market with only one.
This is one reason negotiations can produce substantial prices even when the seller rarely uses the second bay. The buyer is purchasing convenience and potentially improving one apartment, while the seller may be giving up part of the property package that future buyers would otherwise expect.
Both owners may benefit from obtaining property market advice before settling on a figure, particularly in buildings where car parks rarely become available separately.
A Reallocation Should Be Considered When Either Apartment Is Being Sold
Timing becomes more sensitive when either participating apartment is already on the market. A seller should not advertise parking arrangements that are inconsistent with the legal position that will exist at settlement.
Queensland’s seller disclosure regime has applied since 1 August 2025 under the Property Law Act 2023. Sellers of many properties must provide prescribed information to buyers before the contract is signed, and community titles transactions involve additional body corporate documentation including the community management statement and body corporate certificate.
If a car park has recently been reallocated, the disclosure documents and registered scheme information should accurately reflect the arrangement. A buyer purchasing an apartment advertised with two car spaces should not discover during conveyancing that one is still formally attached to a neighbour’s lot while everybody waits for a new community management statement to be recorded.
Historical Parking Arrangements Deserve Extra Investigation
Older buildings can accumulate surprisingly complicated parking histories. Owners swap bays because one is closer to a lift, developers alter allocations during construction, residents use unallocated areas by agreement and generations of sales agents repeat whatever parking description appeared in the previous advertisement.
Eventually the practical arrangement can drift away from the registered one. The person parked in bay 24 may have used it for fifteen years while the community management statement still allocates bay 24 to somebody else. That mismatch can remain unnoticed until a property is sold or a dispute begins.
An owner buying another resident’s car park should resist the temptation to simply formalise the arrangement everyone currently follows. The first task is to identify the existing legal allocations. Once those are understood, the agreement can be designed to produce the desired final position.
Some Queensland Schemes Operate Under Different Legislation
Most modern Queensland community titles schemes operate under the Body Corporate and Community Management Act 1997 and have a registered community management statement. Not every body corporate in Queensland fits that structure.
Some older schemes and certain specialised developments operate under different legislation, including the Building Units and Group Titles Act 1980 or legislation applying to particular integrated or mixed-use developments. The procedures for exclusive use and recording changes can differ.
If the scheme does not have the conventional CTS number and community management statement expected under the BCCM framework, that should be identified early rather than trying to apply the usual reallocation process to a different legal structure.
What A Buyer Should Establish Before Agreeing On A Price
A sensible buyer should be able to answer several fundamental questions before committing money. The current documents should establish whether the car park is a separate titled lot, part of an apartment lot, exclusive use common property, visitor parking or another form of common property arrangement. If it is exclusive use, the buyer should know which by-law creates the right, which lot currently receives the benefit and whether the proposed transaction can be implemented through an agreed reallocation.
The buyer should also understand whether the physical bay shown by the seller matches the registered plan, whether any mortgage, tenancy or co-owner issue affects the transaction, what restrictions apply to use of the bay and whether there are improvements or maintenance obligations associated with it.
Only after those matters are reasonably clear does the price become the central issue. Negotiating first and investigating later can leave both owners committed emotionally and commercially to a transaction that the documents do not support in the form they expected.
Use A Solicitor Familiar With Queensland Body Corporate Property
A real estate agent may be useful when estimating what an additional car park could contribute to the market appeal of an apartment, but the legal transaction itself belongs in the hands of a Queensland solicitor with appropriate body corporate and property experience.
The solicitor can identify the nature of the interest, review the community management statement and title information, draft the reallocation or other agreement, structure payment conditions and coordinate the steps needed for the revised scheme documents to be recorded. Where the parking space is actually part of a lot or a separate titled lot, the solicitor can also identify the different conveyancing pathway required.
That professional work may feel disproportionate when the physical subject of the transaction is only a few square metres of basement concrete. The value being acquired, however, is not the concrete. It is a property right that may remain attached to an apartment for decades and influence future sales long after the two owners who negotiated the deal have left the building.
Buying Another Owner’s Car Park Can Be Worth Doing Properly
For many Queensland apartment owners, acquiring a neighbouring car park is entirely achievable and can be a valuable improvement to the property. The cleanest transactions usually involve an existing, clearly documented exclusive use car park, cooperative owners, a properly drafted written reallocation agreement and prompt recording of the new allocation in the community management statement.
The process becomes more complicated when the space is visitor parking, previously unallocated common property, part of another apartment lot, a separate titled lot or an area whose historical use does not match the registered documents. Those situations can still have solutions, but they should not be treated as ordinary owner-to-owner exclusive use reallocations.
The most useful starting point is therefore not asking what the neighbour wants for the bay. It is establishing exactly what the neighbour owns or has the right to use. Once the legal character of the parking space is clear, the commercial negotiation, body corporate process and documentation can be built around the right transaction rather than trying to force a convenient informal arrangement into the wrong legal structure.
