Body Corporate Termite Inspections Brisbane

Visual, non-invasive inspections for accessible common property areas

Pest & Termite Defence provides visual, non-invasive termite inspections for accessible body corporate common property areas in accordance with AS 3660.2–2017. The inspection scope is based on the approved work order and access available at the time of inspection.

Where internal lots, garages, courtyards or exclusive-use areas are not included or not accessible, these limitations are clearly stated in the report.

About Termite Inspections

Inspection Includes:

  • Visual inspection of accessible common property areas
  • External elevations, slab edges and weep hole observations
  • Durable notice checks where accessible
  • Moisture and conducive condition observations
  • Garden, timber, landscaping and ground-contact risk notes
  • Restricted access and high-risk area notes
  • Photo-supported findings
  • Practical recommendations for committees
  • Clear exclusions where areas are outside the work order or inaccessible
Scope Clarity

Does common property pest control include courtyards, garages or lot interiors?

Body corporate pest control and termite inspection scopes can vary depending on the property, plan type, approved work order and access arrangements. Common property areas may include external elevations, stairwells, foyers, gardens, grounds, bin enclosures, basements, car parks and shared service areas. Lot interiors, garages and exclusive-use areas are only included where they form part of the approved scope and access is provided.

This ensures the committee receives a clear record of what was inspected or treated, what was excluded and what may require further access, monitoring or maintenance.

Quick Boundary Reference for Strata Committees

Building Format Plans (BFPs)

These schemes often involve shared building elements such as external walls, roofing areas, foundations, common services and other structural components. Pest and termite service responsibility should be checked against the survey plan, by-laws, approved work order and access arrangements.

Standard Format Plans (SFPs)

These schemes often separate individual lot areas more clearly from common property. Common property areas may include shared gardens, driveways, paths, retaining areas, facilities and external boundaries, depending on the scheme plan.

Resident Opt-In Extensions

Private lot interiors, garages, courtyards and exclusive-use areas are not automatically included in a common property service. These areas can only be serviced where they are included in the approved scope, booked by the resident or authorised representative, accessible on the day and safe to treat.

Scope & Access Approach

  • Common property scope confirmed from the work order
  • Lot interiors excluded unless specifically included
  • Garages and exclusive-use courtyards noted where not accessible
  • Restricted access areas clearly reported
  • Practical recommendations provided where further access is required
  • Suitable documentation for committee records
Queensland Context

How are pest and termite responsibilities handled in a Queensland body corporate scheme?

In Queensland, pest control and termite inspection responsibilities can depend on the scheme's survey plan, common property boundaries, exclusive-use areas, building structure and approved work order. Building Format Plans (BFPs) and Standard Format Plans (SFPs) can define lot and common property boundaries differently, so the approved scope and available access should be clearly documented before service.

Pest & Termite Defence does not provide legal advice on body corporate responsibility. Our role is to provide clear pest control and termite inspection documentation showing the areas treated or inspected, areas excluded, access restrictions, visible termite risk indicators and practical recommendations for committee review and maintenance planning.

  • Common property scope clearly documented
  • Lot interiors only included where approved and accessible
  • Exclusive-use areas noted where excluded or inaccessible
  • Access restrictions clearly reported
  • Termite risk areas explained in practical language
  • Reports suitable for committee records and maintenance planning
  • Recommendations written for practical follow-up, not scare tactics
Resident Opt-In Programs

Coordinated Resident Opt-In Pest Control

When Pest & Termite Defence attends a strata or body corporate property for common property pest control, residents may be offered the option to book pest control for their individual lot on the same attendance day. This can reduce disruption, improve treatment consistency across the complex and reduce the number of separate contractor visits to the property.

This service is optional and can be coordinated with the body corporate manager, caretaker, onsite manager or committee where suitable. For annual termite inspections or rodent management programs, contact us to discuss your property.
