MBCM Strata Specialists Western Districts

Something we hear regularly from real estate agents and conveyancers in the Western District: they were not sure who to call when a client had an Owners Corporation question.

That is the gap that our Directors Marg and Tim fill.

Good Owners Corporation management does not just protect your client's investment. It makes your job easier. When committee meetings are run properly, levies are collected on time, and maintenance issues are dealt with before they escalate, everyone benefits.

If you work with strata properties in the region, from Warrnambool through to Horsham and Hamilton, we would genuinely welcome a conversation. Not a sales pitch, just a straightforward chat about how we can support your clients.

Winter in the Western District is no joke, and if you live in a strata property, now is the time to make sure your building is ready for it.

Blocked gutters, cracked seals around windows, damp in common areas. These are the kinds of issues that get expensive fast if they are left unchecked.

A good Owners Corporation manager will make sure none of that slips through the cracks. Literally.

We look after Owners Corporation properties right across the region, from Warrnambool to Horsham and everywhere in between. Get in touch at 03 5560 5508 if your property needs attention.

A new financial year is a good time to take stock of how your Owners Corporation is being managed.

Is your budget set? Are your insurance certificates current? Does your committee have a clear plan for the year ahead?

If you are not sure, or if you would just like a straight-talking conversation with someone who knows the Western District, Tim and Marg are always happy to help. No obligation, no jargon. Just local knowledge.

Give us a call on 03 5560 5508 or send an email to [email protected]

If you’re looking for some fun next weekend, make sure you mark the Koroit Irish Festival on your social calendar.

We’ve been proud supporters and participants of this festival since 1997, when our kids were still at school and we helped with fundraising. Since then, the festival has grown to a Koroit event favourite.

This fabulous festival runs from Friday to Sunday, 1–3 May.

You’ll find all the fun along Commercial Road, Koroit in the town centre.

Every year the festival brings locals and tourists together to celebrate all things Irish.
Make sure you’re wearing green and are ready to have a “grand time”.

Another January in the books, and what a way to wrap it up! ⛳🚗
Despite some grey skies, the East Rotary - HOLE in ONE event was a fantastic success. As locals who grew up in this community, Margaret and I were so proud to be among the sponsors for 2026.
It’s about more than just a great shot at a new car or seeing the local talent on the green. The funds raised help the Rotary Club continue their vital work supporting 70 local groups—from mental health initiatives to emergency relief and the Warrnambool East Primary School Nurture room.
We love being involved in the neighbourhood we serve. Whether we’re supporting community projects or helping our local strata communities thrive, it’s all about giving back to the place we call home.
Congratulations to all the finalists who made it to the big shoot-out!

Love the greenery but not the overhanging branches? You aren't alone!
"Understanding Tree Laws" was one of our most read articles in 2025, and for good reason. It can be tricky knowing where you stand when a neighbour's tree affects your property.
Here are a few quick facts for Victorian strata residents:
✂️ Trimming: You generally have the right to trim branches that cross your boundary line (at your own cost).
🗣️ Talking helps: Most disputes can be solved with a friendly chat or a note in the letterbox.
🏛️ Council rules: Always check with your local council to see if a tree is protected before you cut!

Everyone wins!

A fabulous way to round out our working year. The lovely Ann from Warrnambool was the winner of our inaugural Thankyou Festive Competition.

We travelled to Ann to ensure we could hand-deliver her prize with a bonus beautiful bunch of flowers from . Little did we know that it is also Ann’s birthday on Christmas Eve.

In our winner Ann’s own words:
“I entered this competition, so if I won, I could share the Festive hamper with my friends in Mount Gambier who are hosting Christmas this year and now I can.
Thank you so much, you have made my Christmas extra special and, with my birthday being Christmas Eve, receiving the flowers was a double blessing. Thank you again.”

From our wonderful MBCM Warrnambool franchisees, Tim and Margaret McNally:
“It was such a pleasure to make this congratulatory call. Ann has been our client for five years, and we have managed this Owners Corporation for more than 15, so it’s very exciting for one of our clients to win and to deliver their prize to them in person.”

A lovely 2025 Christmas memory to share.
