Legislative & Compliance Consulting

Compliance without the complexity

Owners corporations carry legal obligations under strata, building, safety and privacy legislation. We help committees understand them, meet them and document them, reducing risk for the owners corporation and for individual committee members.

What we provide

• Advice on the Owners Corporations Act 2006 and Owners Corporations Regulations 2018 (Vic), and the Body Corporate and Community Management Act 1997 (Qld)
• Rules review, drafting support and registration of rule changes
• Fire safety, essential safety measures and OH&S compliance programs
• Contractor licensing and insurance checks
• Maintenance plan obligations for larger owners corporations
• Insurance compliance and disclosure
• Dispute resolution processes and VCAT representation

Staying current

Strata legislation changes. Victoria’s 2021 reforms, for example, introduced tiers of owners corporations with different obligations for financial reporting, maintenance plans and the appointment of a manager. We keep committees informed of what applies to their building.
