🏢 Why is DEBT RECOVERY important for Owners Corporations?

When an owner doesn’t pay their levies, the Owners Corporation still has bills to pay insurance, repairs, maintenance, cleaning and other essential expenses.

If one owner falls behind, the financial burden can ultimately fall on the other owners.

Debt recovery isn’t about punishing owners. It’s about ensuring everyone contributes their fair share and that the OC has the funds it needs to properly maintain the property.

Fair, consistent and timely debt recovery protects all owners.

🔥 FIRE SAFETY: Something every Owners Corporation should take seriously

Fire safety systems often sit quietly in the background until something goes wrong.

Fire doors 🚪
Emergency lighting 💡
Fire extinguishers 🧯
Smoke alarms
Fire panels
Hydrants and hose reels

These aren’t just maintenance items, they are critical in an emergency.

Owners Corporations have a responsibility to ensure these systems are properly maintained and working as required.

Issues shouldn’t be ignored just because there hasn’t been a fire.

If something isn’t working or maintenance has been missed, it should be addressed promptly.

Regular inspections and timely repairs can make a real difference.

At K L Strata Specialists, we believe in proactive management, not reactive fixes.

🔥 Fire safety is about protecting people and property.

When was the last time your building reviewed its fire safety maintenance?

WHO IS RESPONSIBLE FOR REPAIRING A BROKEN WINDOW:

This is a common question we receive in Owners Corporations.

In most cases, the owner of the lot is responsible for repairing and replacing broken glass in windows that service their lot, particularly where the window forms part of the lot and the damage has occurred to the glass itself.

However, responsibility can vary depending on:

1. The plan of subdivision and boundaries of the lot

2. The Owners Corporation rules and maintenance obligations

3. Whether the damage affects common property

4. The cause of the damage

If a window is broken, we recommend notifying the Owners Corporation Manager as soon as possible so the responsibility can be reviewed and any safety concerns addressed promptly.

Every property is different and what applies in one Owners Corporation may not apply in another.

If you are unsure who is responsible for a repair, seek advice before arranging works

PLUMBING REPAIRS - Common Property vs Lot Owner Responsibility

An Owners Corporation is generally responsible for plumbing repairs relating to common property infrastructure, including shared pipes, main sewer lines, stormwater drains and common water services.

Where a plumbing issue originates from or affects common property, the Owners Corporation will arrange for investigation and repairs in accordance with the Owners Corporation Act 2006 and the registered Plan of Subdivision.

Repairs relating solely to a private lot, including fixtures, fittings and pipes servicing only that lot, are typically the responsibility of the individual lot owner. In some instances, further investigation by a licensed plumber may be required to determine responsibility before works proceed.

PROXY LIMITS AT OWNERS CORPORATION AGMS – KNOW THE RULES (VICTORIA)

Did you know there are strict limits on how many proxy forms one person can hold at an AGM.

Under the Owners Corporations Act 2006 (Vic):

🔹 20 lots or less👉 A person can hold only 1 proxy

🔹 More than 20 lots👉 A person can hold no more than 5% of total lot owners (e.g. 100 lots = max 5 proxies)

These rules were introduced to prevent “proxy stacking” and ensure fair voting for all owners.

✔️ Proxy holders can still vote on their own lot in addition to any valid proxies they hold.

✔️ The limit applies per person, not per meeting.

If you are unsure how this applies to your Owners Corporation, feel free to reach out for guidance.

🏢 Owners Corporation: Common vs Private Property – Know the Difference!

A common area of confusion for lot owners is who is responsible for repairs and maintenance. Here’s a simple breakdown to help 👇

Common Property (Owners Corporation Responsibility)This includes shared areas used by all residents such as:

• Roofs
• External walls
• Driveways & pathways
• Lifts & stairwells
• Shared plumbing or electrical systems

Repairs and maintenance to these areas are generally paid for by the Owners Corporation using levies.

🏠 Private Property (Lot Owner Responsibility)This is everything within your individual lot boundary for example:

• Internal walls, floors, and ceilings
• Fixtures like taps, toilets, and appliances
• Internal plumbing (unless it services multiple lots)

These repairs are usually the responsibility of the individual owner.

⚠️ Why it matters: Understanding the difference can save time, avoid disputes and ensure issues are reported to the right party.

Tip: If you’re unsure, check your plan of subdivision or reach out to your Owners Corporation manager for clarification.

Please feel free to reach out if you need any assistance in determining what’s common and what’s private.

Committee members can be personally exposed (in some cases)

While committee members are generally protected when acting in good faith, they can be at risk if they:

• Act outside their authority
• Are negligent
• Fail to comply with legal obligations

This is why good governance and proper advice are so important.

KEEPING LEVIES AS LOW AS POSSIBLE

We understand that managing costs is important for all owners and the Owners Corporation is committed to keeping levies as reasonable and sustainable as possible.

There are several ways we actively work to minimise costs while still maintaining the property to a high standard:

PLANNING AHEAD: By maintaining a well-structured Capital Works Fund, we can spread costs over time and reduce the need for large, unexpected special levies.

PROACTIVE MAINTENANCE: Addressing repairs early helps avoid more significant and costly issues in the future.

SEEKING VALUE FOR MONEY: Regularly review contracts and obtain competitive quotes to ensure services are cost-effective.

MANAGING INSURANCE COSTS: Insurance policies are carefully reviewed to ensure appropriate coverage at competitive rates.

REDUCING ENERGY USAGE: Implementing energy efficient solutions in common areas helps lower ongoing expenses.

RESPONSIBILE SPENDING: All expenditure is considered carefully with a focus on essential works and long term value.

While we always aim to keep levies down, it is equally important to ensure the property remains safe, compliant and well-maintained. Investing in the upkeep of the building also helps protect and enhance property values for all owners.
