An owners corporation is automatically created when a plan of subdivision containing common property is registered at Land Use Victoria. The OC manages that common property as the governing entity that looks after the Strata Scheme in entirety.
The role of an Owners Corporation Manager is to ensure that the Owners Corporation operates effectively and meets all legislative requirements. A professional and experienced Manager should be appointed to this role. The Manager is responsible for the Owners Corporation’s operations. This includes regularly communicating with the Committee, providing advice and direction, and completing various tasks.
It is critical for the Manager to work closely with its committee members, in order to properly understand how the Committee wants the Owners Corporation managed.
An Owners Corporation Committee is a group of 3 to 7 members who are appointed each year at the Annual General Meeting. The Committee governs management of the Owners Corporation until a new Committee is appointed at the next Annual General Meeting. In most cases, the Owners Corporation delegates powers to the Committee of Management to make decisions about the building’s day-to-day operations.
In large properties like Mason Sq, the Owners Corporation has chosen to employ a Precinct & Resident Services Manager to assist with the building’s day-to-day operations. The Building Manager communicates with the Committee and Owners Corporation Manager to report all issues they encounter during their daily activities.
If you're an owner and have a request to raise to the OC or an OC Committee, please contact the relevant OC Manager.
OC fees or levies are issued periodically, usually quarterly, but some are bi-annual.
Each Lot owner will get a levy notice for each OC. If your Lot is part of 4 OC's, then you will get four invoices. Each requires individual payment.
The levies are determined by the annual budget which is approved at each annual general meeting.
It’s widespread practice for some buildings that have a mix of homes, shops, and commercial use to have several Owners Corporations to address responsibilities. To better address the increase of properties requiring multiple Owners Corporations every owner is represented in an unlimited Owners Corporations and at least one limited Owners Corporation.
In Mason Sq this is how it's been setup by the developer, and we have a total of 9 OC entites.
