Strata Management Information QLD
What is a body corporate?
A body corporate is a legal entity created upon the registration of a community management statement. It is commonly and historically referred to as a “body corporate” and is responsible for the management, repair and administration of the common property including insurance.
A body corporate is governed by State Legislation which provides the legal framework within which owner occupiers and residents can enjoy the use of common property together, for example garden areas, driveways, hallways, pools and recreational facilities.
A professional body corporate manager plays a vital role in an increasingly complex environment by ensuring body corporates are compliant with their legal responsibilities, while efficiently protecting and maintaining building owners’ assets.
