Be careful of a module change

11 December 2025

Mahoneys’ Senior Associate Will Kenny was recently featured in Resort News – the magazine for the accommodation industry professional – where he discussed an increasing trend of bodies corporate seeking to change the module from Accommodation to Standard – which has the potential effect of reducing the length of the management rights agreement from 25 years to 10. Specifically, he covered:

  • how a body corporate can change the module;
  • the consequences of a change in the module; and
  • what the manager can do to prevent the change.
