What is a Body Corporate?
A body corporate, also known as an owners corporation (OC), is a legal entity composed of all the property owners in an apartment building, townhouse complex, or group of units. They are responsible for managing common areas in multi-unit developments, including residential apartments, townhouses, and commercial complexes. This includes everything from maintaining shared facilities to ensuring compliance with legal and financial obligations.
Professional body corporate management is essential for:
- Maintaining property value through routine maintenance and financial planning.
- Ensuring compliance with local legislation.
- Streamlining communication among owners, tenants, and service providers.
With OCX, you get expert oversight that guarantees your property is well-managed, legally compliant, and financially secure.
Let us do the heavy lifting for you.

Whilst an Owners Corporation manager may be a small part of the overall picture, a good or bad manager can mean the difference between the ultimate success or failure of a development within the first few years of a project’s completion as they bridge the gap between the original owner and the Owners Corporation.
We work with a number of VIC preeminent developers. We specialise in assisting them in the establishment of Owners Corporations in a way that is not just compliant and tick the boxes but also set up efficiently and for the benefit of the future owners of these prestigious properties. This means that we often work with them 2-3 years prior to the completion. Our professional developer consulting services prior to plan registration include:
- Budgets and other such material for marketing purposes
- Shared facilities advice (if applicable)
- Provision of a tailored set of additional special rules (if required)
- Advice on exclusive-use special rules and potentially saleable/leasable areas of property (e.g. telecommunications towers, signboards)
- Defect management processes and procedures
- Advice on unit liability and entitlement allocation
- Facilities advice (what is practical and how is it going to operate once completed)
- Carry out your obligations as required under the relevant legislation
- Arrange and place appropriate building insurance policies as required by legislation.
- Prepare and issue Owners Corporation certificates within 24 hours
