Simone Strickland was a great help to us - she is a champion !!!

My godmother was very upset about her body corp payment that had gone missing and spoke to the property manager. They did not reach an agreeable outcome. This was forwarded to Simone. She very concisely and professionally dealt with the situation in a friendly manner, gave us options and put my elderly godmothers mind at ease. Thank you so much Simone.

New Building Manager

Rodrigo Lourenço has recently taken over as the Manager of our apartment complex. Over the past 4 years he has been our best. His attention to detail, regular updates and positive attitude has been a pleasure to work with.

Great service with a smile!

Alexander and Linus from the Victorian Body Corporate Service have recently taken over the management of our property of 9 apartments and we couldn't be happier. The service currently being provided to us has been 'amazing' and our list of things to do at our block is suddenly much smaller which makes me very very happy :) Thanks guys!!

Great Assistance - The Park Apartments

I would just like to say a big thank you to Simone Lucas who was able to assist me with my OC fees. I accidentally paid both OC 1 and OC 3 fees into the OC 3 fees and received an overdue notice for my OC 1 fees. Simone was able to see that I had paid them in full and transferred the credit into the correct account. Thank you so much for your assistance and help. Tracey

Congratulations for a massive turn around.

From a sustained level of deep frustration necessitating consideration of alternative OC managers only a few months ago, to a level of service I cannot fault.
Rodrigo is responsive, wise in his dealings with people and issues, caring of the matters that are raised and the information and guidance that is sought. The senior mangers with whom he consults and Maddison in support enable confident and timely assistance whilst the team now having a focussed understanding of low density buildings eliminates the frustration of recieving irrelevant, no-sense advice.
Congratulations to all levels of management for a massive turn around. The only thing I ask for now, is for continuity.

Amazing service

Received a overdue levy notice from Simone - genuinely overlooked paying it. Simeone was very courteous and not pushy which goes a long way in situations like this, where I was kicking myself for forgetting. An absolute asset to the company! Don't let her leave.

How do we change the Manager of our OC? We have been with VBCS since incorporation. Would prefer to stay with VBCS but the current Manager has never been on site and is therefore difficult to work with.

Of course it doesn’t match. It’s a general question and surely doesn’t require my personal details

Hi. We would like to help you with your enquiry. To do so we would need to know the property that is currently under management. This will allow us to look into management options going forward. We are happy to talk to you about your concerns. If you would like to discuss your options please contact us via our feedback form www.smartercommunities.com.au/contact/feedback/

Seriously? There must be a process to follow! You don’t need to know the property concerned. Do I contact the General Manager?

Victoria Body Corporate Services
Victoria Body Corporate Services · 

The process requires you to fill in either a contact form or a feedback form. This will then be forwarded to the required manager who will contact you.

Why is our OC not permitted to have our AGM at an agreed location rather than by a teleconference?

We are thinking seriously to terminate our present Body Corporate Manager. Please advise what's the procedure according to the latest Owners Corporation Act 2021? We do have a Committee formed as our apartment only has 14 units.

Victoria Body Corporate Services
Victoria Body Corporate Services · 

Terminating your Manager is covered under the Owners Corporation Act 2006 Part 6 Section 119 allows an OC to appoint a manager and revoke an appointment. As the form of resolution is not specified, it is an ordinary resolution pursuant to section 92.  If the appointment of a manager is terminated the manager is required to return the records and funds to the Secretary of the Owners Corporation within 28 days of termination - Section 127.

As is an ordinary resolution the power may be delegated to the committee. If in delegating powers to the committee, which is done when the committee is appointed at the AGM, the power to appoint or terminate a manager has not been delegated, the Committee does not have the power in which case the power may only be exercised at a general meeting of members.  This requires consideration of the delegations made when the committee was appointed.  It may have been recorded in the minutes of the meeting or alternatively a separate Instrument of Delegation may have been executed.  These need to be reviewed.

If no delegations were made to the committee, pursuant to section 11(5) of the OC Act, the committee has all of the powers which may be exercised by a resolution other than those reserved for a general meeting (the section 82 fetter). Thus it could appoint the manger. If the minutes appoint a committee do not record any delegation then section 11(5) operates.

If the OC has passed an ordinary resolution at a general meeting requiring the appointment of termination of a manager may only be determined at a general meeting, the Committee does not have that power (section 82).  If that resolution was passed previously it continues until revoked.  This is contrasted with the delegation to the committee which is active only for that committee and expires when a new committee is elected. It can of course be refreshed, and usually is, when the committee is appointed.
