Frequently Asked Questions

When a Plan of Subdivision is created, it leads to the creation of lots and common property. The lots are owned by lot owners who are registered on a title as owners. The common property is jointly owned by all lot owners which will include but is not limited to stairs, driveways, paths, elevators, lobbies, pools, common garden and roofs. Such common property falls under the umbrella of Owners Corporation, which is a separate entity just like companies and individuals, who can sue and be sued. Owners Corporation are applicable to all properties including residential, retail, commercial, industrial and mixed used.

The manager coordinates the Owners Corporation’s daily affairs, including collecting and banking fees, arranging property maintenance and, in certain circumstances, organising meetings.

A manager can usually:

  • Prepare and distribute notices, agendas and minutes
  • Attend to correspondence
  • Arrange quotations for repairs and maintenance
  • Take out and maintain required insurance
  • Pay all invoices
  • Prepare and distribute financial statements and budgets
  • Provide owners corporation certificates
  • Keep and maintain the owners corporation register
  • Keep and maintain records
  • Arrange audits and reports required by law
  • Prepare and implement a grievance procedure, and
  • Ensure compliance with the Owners Corporations Act 2006, the Owners Corporations Regulations 2018 and rules.

An Owners Corporation manager’s legal powers and functions depend on whether the Owners Corporation has a committee.

The cost for an Owners Corporation Manager depends on the services you require, the number of lots your premises has and the maintenance work that your property needs.
