When you buy into a sectional title scheme, you own your section and share responsibility for the common property. The Body Corporate exists to manage that shared responsibility.

What owners should understand

The Body Corporate collects levies, maintains common property, keeps insurance in place, holds meetings, applies conduct and management rules, and appoints trustees to make day-to-day decisions between general meetings.

Why participation matters

  • Read notices, budgets and minutes before meetings.
  • Understand what your levies fund and when special levies may be needed.
  • Follow conduct rules and get written approvals before relevant alterations.
  • Use the managing agent as an administration channel, but remember trustees remain central to governance.

Good ownership is active, informed and practical. The more owners understand the structure, the more stable the community becomes.
