What Is an Owners Corporation?

An owners corporation, also known as a body corporate, is the legal entity responsible for managing the common property and shared areas of a subdivided property. In Victoria, an owners corporation is created when a plan of subdivision containing common property is registered. This commonly includes properties such as an apartment building, townhouse complex or other multi-unit development.

At SELECT, we do the heavy lifting and help owners corporations across Melbourne manage their everyday responsibilities, from administration and financial management to maintenance and compliance.

If you're looking for professional owners corporation management, understanding how owners corporations work and the responsibilities they have is an important first step. For more detailed insight, contact us today or visit the Victorian Government's owners corporation information page.

Body Corporate vs Owners Corporation in Victoria

In Victoria, the correct legal term is 'owners corporation', while 'body corporate' is an older term that is still commonly used in other parts of Australia. Both terms refer to the organisation responsible for managing the common property and shared responsibilities of a strata-titled property.

If you own a lot or serve on a committee in Victoria, every piece of legislation, government correspondence and official documentation will refer to your owners corporation, not your body corporate. When searching for a strata manager, look for providers who specialise in owners corporation management under the Owners Corporations Act 2006.
