(1)  This Act shall be read and construed with the Real Property Act 1900 as if it formed part thereof.

(2)  The Real Property Act 1900 applies to lots and common property in the same way as it applies to other land except in so far as any provision of that Act is inconsistent with this Act or is incapable of applying to lots or common property.

(3)  The provisions of this Act, other than those relating to ownership and the certification of title, apply:

(a)  to so much of an encroachment (other than on a public place) shown on a proposed strata plan or strata plan of subdivision as is designated for use with a lot—as if it were part of the lot, or

(b)  to the remainder (if any) of such an encroachment and to any other encroachment (other than on a public place) shown on a proposed strata plan or strata plan of subdivision—as if it were common property.
