Questions about STRATA MANAGEMENT?

Learn More About How We Work

What is an Owners Corporation (Body Corporate) in Victoria?

An Owners Corporation (formerly known as a Body Corporate) is the legal entity that manages the common property of a residential, commercial, or mixed-use development. Whether you own a townhouse in Doncaster or a unit in Kilmore, you automatically become a member of the Body Corporate when you buy a lot. The OC is responsible for insurance, maintenance, and keeping the shared areas compliant under the Owners Corporations Act 2006.

What is the difference between Strata, Body Corporate, and Owners Corporation?

In Victoria, these terms are often used interchangeably. Strata generally refers to the title of your specific unit. Body Corporate is the older term most people still use, while Owners Corporation is the current legal term in Victoria. Whether you call it Strata Management or Owners Corp Management, MJS provides the exact same high-level service to properties in Wollert, Templestowe, and across Melbourne.

What is the difference between the Administrative Fund and the Maintenance Fund?

Owners Corporation fees are split into two funds. The Administrative Fund covers daily strata expenses like insurance premiums, cleaning, and gardening for properties in suburbs like Donvale. The Maintenance Fund (often called a Sinking Fund in other states) is your Body Corporate's long-term savings account. It covers major capital works like roof replacements or painting, which is essential for maintaining property values in growing areas like Kalkallo and Broadford.

How does MJS Body Corporate handle compliance and safety?

As your Owners Corporation Managers, we take safety seriously. We ensure your building complies with Victorian laws, including Essential Safety Measures (ESM) and combustible cladding reviews. We stay ahead of legislative changes so your Body Corporate property in Wallan or Templestowe remains compliant, insured, and safe for all residents.

How do I switch Strata Managers?

Switching your Strata Manager to MJS is simple and does not always require waiting for a contract to expire. First, we help review your current Body Corporate agreement. Second, a majority vote at an Owners Corporation meeting is usually required. Finally, we handle the handover of books and funds. We help Owners Corporations across Broadford, Wandong, and Doncaster transition to better management every month.

How much are Strata management fees in Melbourne?

Body Corporate fees vary based on your building's facilities (lifts, pools) and size. A boutique block in Kilmore will have different levy requirements than a large complex in Donvale. MJS provides transparent, itemized budgets so your Owners Corporation knows exactly where the money goes with no hidden administration costs.

How does the Owners Corporation handle emergency repairs?

MJS provides 24/7 emergency strata support. Whether it is a burst pipe in Doncaster or a gate failure in Kalkallo, our approved contractor network is ready to respond. We have strict protocols to minimize damage and cost to the Body Corporate during after-hours incidents.

How does MJS Body Corporate handle financial management and transparency?

Transparency is central to our Body Corporate management. We provide regular financial reports, 24/7 online portal access, and hold open budget meetings for all owners. Significant expenses require Owners Corporation approval, and we conduct external audits when necessary. We manage your funds with precision, ensuring financial compliance for properties in Donvale, Kilmore, and across Victoria.

Can owners request special services from the Body Corporate Managers?

Absolutely. We understand that every strata community is unique. Whether you require enhanced security protocols in Doncaster or specialized financial reporting for a development in Templestowe, we tailor our Owners Corporation services to meet your specific needs. We work with the committee to implement solutions that add value to your specific property.

How does MJS Body Corporate assist with environmental sustainability initiatives?

We are committed to helping Victorian strata schemes go green. We can help implement eco-friendly practices, from installing energy-efficient lighting in apartment complexes to managing sustainable landscaping for townhouses in Wollert and Kalkallo. We assist your Body Corporate in reducing its carbon footprint and long-term utility costs.
