Schedule 3—Statement of advice and information for prospective
purchasers and lot owners
Pursuant to Schedule 3 of the Owners Corporations Regulations 2018

Regulation 17
What is an owners corporation?
The lot you are considering buying is part of an owners corporation. Whenever a plan of
subdivision creates common property, an owners corporation is responsible for managing the
common property. A purchaser of a lot that is part of an owners corporation automatically
becomes a member of the owners corporation when the transfer of that lot to the purchaser
has been registered with Land Use Victoria.
If you buy into an owners corporation, you will be purchasing not only the individual
property, but also ownership of, and the right to use, the common property as set out in the
plan of subdivision. This common property may include driveways, stairs, paths, passages,
lifts, lobbies, common garden areas and other facilities set up for use by owners and
occupiers. In order to identify the boundary between the individual lot you are purchasing
(for which the owner is solely responsible) and the common property (for which all members
of the owners corporation are responsible), you should closely inspect the plan of
subdivision.
How are decisions made by an owners corporation?
As an owner you will be required to make financial contributions to the owners corporation,
in particular for the repair, maintenance and management of the common property. Decisions
as to the management of this common property will be the subject of collective decision
making. Decisions as to these financial contributions, which may involve significant
expenditure, will be decided by a vote.
Owners corporation rules
The owners corporation rules may deal with matters such as car parking, noise, pets, the
appearance or use of lots, behaviour of owners, occupiers or guests and grievance procedures.
You should look at the owners corporation rules to consider any restrictions imposed by the
rules.
Lot entitlement and lot liability
The plan of subdivision will also show your lot entitlement and lot liability. Lot liability
represents the share of owners corporation expenses that each lot owner is required to pay.
Lot entitlement is an owner's share of ownership of the common property, which determines
voting rights. You should make sure that the allocation of lot liability and entitlement for the
lot you are considering buying seems fair and reasonable.
Further information
If you are interested in finding out more about living in an owners corporation, you can
contact Consumer Affairs Victoria. If you require further information about the particular
owners corporation you are buying into, you can inspect that owners corporation's
information register.

Minutes Page 7 of 8
Management of an owners corporation
An owners corporation may be self-managed by the lot owners or professionally managed by
an owners corporation manager. If an owners corporation chooses to appoint a professional
manager, it must be a manager registered with the Business Licensing Authority (BLA).

IF YOU ARE UNCERTAIN ABOUT ANY ASPECT OF THE OWNERS CORPORATION


OR ANY DOCUMENTS YOU HAVE RECEIVED IN RELATION TO THE OWNERS
CORPORATION YOU SHOULD SEEK EXPERT ADVICE.
