Any Lot Owner in a body corporate has the power to submit a motion or a proposal to engage and even appoint new management.

You have two options for changing body corporate management in Queensland:

1. Submitting the motion as a lot owner: Lot owners can submit a motion in writing for consideration by the committee at the next general meeting. For annual general meetings, owners are required to be invited to submit motions for the agenda. However, the owner has a right to submit a motion at any time as long as the secretary receives it before the body corporate’s financial year end.
2. Submitting a proposal to the committee for consideration: An owner has the right to submit a proposal to the committee for an alternative body corporate company to assume control. The proposal will be reviewed and put forward to the general meeting from the committee. In this instance, however, the committee has no obligation to include the proposal during the next general meeting.

Overdue levy payments can cause delays in important maintenance, repairs and projects. In Qld, certain monies are required to be paid into a sinking fund, and any other money received is paid into an administrative fund, which takes care of ongoing administrative, compliance and maintenance costs.

We believe every lot owner deserves transparency in understanding the true costs associated with running and maintaining their property. Unfortunately, some strata management companies obscure these costs by using opaque accounting codes. Tower prioritises clarity and accountability. We provide lot owners with detailed, easy-to-understand financial records, ensuring financial management is conducted professionally and transparently.
