It's important to understand what each of these main roles on a strata committee entails before deciding who is to hold them.

This gorgeous property at 6/12 Berkeley Street Hawthorn has gorgeous contrasting paintwork to enhance the bricks.
Although our building doesn’t have clinkers and is not as old as this beauty, we could achieve a similar street appeal with a clean up of the garden and fresh paint to the trims.

Whats the difference between the Owners Corporation, Body Corporation and Owners Corporation Manager?

We can expect notification about the next Annual General Meeting from our Owners Corporation. Let’s make it easy to understand what each party does.

The Owners Corporation Manager is a private business that the Owners Corporation pay to manage our building and it’s administration; like collecting levies and fees and paying common electricity and the gardener. At the moment, for us at 130 Rathmines, this is Victorian Body Corporate Services. If the committee decided to change this by voting for change, we could seek a new manager.

The Owner Corporation is the OWNERS, the people; and even if we’re not on the committee, our vote still counts equally as the committee members votes at the AGM.

Owners Corporation and Body Corporation basically mean the same thing.

The Owners Corporation Committee, is an group of owners who represent the Owner Corporation and tell the Owners Corporation Manager what to administrate on. Say, pay an invoice or arrange for quotes to fix the letter box.

When an owner joins the the committee, they have an opportunity to introduce change and improvement; and because the OC Manager does the heavy lifting on the administration, it’s a great way to be involved in your building and community.

When the AGM notice comes, nominate yourself and come to the AGM to formalize your nomination.

It’s that easy; and if your unsure, we’ll answer your questions to help you understand the processes.

We have a similar courtyard to this Hawthorn property.

It would be lovely to add a feature and perhaps a seat to enjoy this outdoor area.

We're a neighbourhood community of tenants, landlords and owner occupiers, that is welcoming, friendly and safe.

Being part of this page allow us to communicate and work together to make our building great.

Post you ideas to improve our home here so that the committee can understand what you need and want.

Please be respectful, courteous and neighbourly.
