0418 362 023 →An owners corporation manager handles the day-to-day administration of your building or complex. This includes financial management (budgets, levies, trust accounting), organising and chairing meetings, coordinating maintenance and repairs, ensuring compliance with the Owners Corporation Act 2006, managing insurance and handling disputes between lot owners.
Switching is straightforward. The committee can appoint a new manager by resolution at a general meeting. We handle the entire transition — notifying your outgoing manager, transferring financial records and documents, and ensuring there's zero disruption to services. Most transitions complete within four to six weeks.
Our fees depend on the size and complexity of your property — number of lots, common areas, facilities and services required. We provide a detailed, transparent proposal with no hidden costs. Contact us for a free, no-obligation quote tailored to your building.
StrataPort is our secure online owner portal where you can view financial statements, levy notices, meeting minutes, maintenance requests, and building documents at any time. Every lot owner receives login credentials when we begin managing your property.
We maintain a 24/7 emergency line at 0418 362 023 for urgent situations like burst pipes, power failures, or security issues. Our trusted contractor network means we can have qualified tradespeople on-site quickly, minimising damage and disruption to residents.
While our office is in Melbourne CBD, we manage properties across metropolitan Melbourne and surrounding suburbs. Our team conducts regular on-site inspections regardless of location to ensure your building is maintained to the highest standard.
At the AGM, the committee presents the annual financial report, sets the budget and levies for the coming year, discusses maintenance plans and any proposed rule changes, and elects committee members. We prepare all documentation, distribute notices within statutory timeframes, chair the meeting, and record formal minutes.
The after-hours trade emergency contact is Tymaline Building Services, reachable on 0418 362 023. This service is for trade-related emergencies only. Where an emergency is identified as a lot owner's responsibility, costs for the service will be applied to the lot owner or occupant. If you call after hours and it is later deemed by the OC that your call was not an OC matter, you may be charged a minimum service fee of $60 plus GST to triage your call, or a minimum call-out fee of $480 plus GST for after-hours trade attendance.
Common property is whatever is stated on the plan of subdivision and may include gardens, passages, walls, stairwells, pathways, driveways, lifts, foyers and fences. The Owners Corporation is responsible for the common property — the Owners Corporations Act 2006 states that the OC must manage, administer, repair and maintain it. The plan of subdivision shows the parcels of land that can be sold separately (called 'lots'). Lot owners are the members of the Owners Corporation for the subdivision, and more than one OC can be created in a subdivision to separate residential and commercial lot owners.
The majority of Strata Title properties are post-1970. A surveyor surveys the property and lodges a plan of subdivision with the land titles office. The number on the lodged plan becomes the Owners Corporation Number, giving the building a unique identity.
Any Company Title or Stratum Title property will be registered as a Company with ASIC and is then referred to as a Service Company. For more detail, see our Company & Stratum Title page.
Most Company Title properties pre-date 1961 and are governed by the Corporations Act under a Memorandum and Articles of Association. The owners have shares in the company that controls the building and common areas, and just like any other company, it is controlled by the Directors. It is very important that ASIC shares are correct, as the shares give the owner entitlement to use their unit. For full details, see our Company & Stratum Title page.
Most Stratum Title properties pre-date 1967 and are a combination of freehold title for individual lots with a Service Company to manage the common property. The Service Company is governed by the Corporations Act under a Memorandum and Articles of Association. Each freehold owner also holds shares in the Service Company, giving rights to use the common property. For full details, see our Company & Stratum Title page.
Strata conversion increases the number of lenders available to purchase or refinance your property and allows for a reverse mortgage facility. It increases the buyer pool if selling and can improve the capital value of your property by 10–20%. For more information on conversion and the different title types, see our Company & Stratum Title page.
