Frequently Asked Questions
- What is an Owners Corporation?
- An Owners Corporation (formerly known as a Body Corporate in Victoria) is a legal body automatically formed when a plan of subdivision contains common property. Owners Corporations manage the common property of residential, commercial, retail or industrial property development. ‘Common property’ can include footpaths, driveways, shared garden areas, stairs, lifts and foyers or lobbies. Multiple Owners Corporations may be created if a subdivision is large. If you own a flat, apartment or unit, you automatically become a member of an Owners Corporation.
- Owners Corporation Certificates

All Owners Corporations in Victoria are required to prepare and supply a certificate within ten business days to anyone who applies in writing and pays the relevant fee for the requested certificate. The Owners Corporation Certificate must include specific information and have relevant documents attached. Please email [email protected] to apply for a certificate.
