Amendments to the Owners Corporations Act 2006 are comprehensive and significant. They aim to balance the interests and requirements of different size complexes and strengthen the regulatory responsibilities of developers, managers, decision-making processes, and dispute resolution. This has been a major reform to the Owners Corporation legislation in Victoria.
