In the ACT there are Class A and Class B units. Class A generally covers apartments which are built with multi storey construction, with lots one above the other. Here the common property walls (including external windows and doors) are maintained by the Owners Corporation, similar to NSW.
Class B units are town houses and villas. Unlike in NSW here the responsibility for maintenance rests with the owner of each lot.
In either case the Owners Corp is required to insure all the buildings. So if for example there is damage to your doors caused by an external event you may be able to claim from the Owners Corp insurance.
