      VIC Tier 2 residential strata manager required?

      The Secretary of our Owners Corporation Committee has asked this question; looking for advice from FlatChat:

      In Victoria, it is no longer a legal requirement for a Tier 2 residential block to have a strata manager.  When drafting the legislation, did the legislators have in mind another model for the management of Tier 2 apartment blocks?  If so, what was that model?  In your opinion, what would work best for a Tier 2 apartment block?

        First of all, the five-tier system for strata schemes in Victoria is explained HERE. Just click on the link and the factsheet should download to your device.

        To answer the question, for a tier 2 scheme (51 to 100 units) a strata managing agent is not a legal requirement but it might be a good idea.

        The fact that you are asking that question suggests to me that your scheme might benefit from a little guidance.

        As to a “model” if your scheme has a lot of issues and squabbles between neighbours, then you should seek out a contract that is all inclusive with a one-off payment for all services.

        If your scheme is settled, you might take a less expensive contract that allows for charges on the basis of work done above and beyond normal duties.

        The opinions offered in these Forum posts and replies are not intended to be taken as legal advice. Readers with serious issues should consult experienced strata lawyers.
