Why VIC needs its own book
Victoria is in the middle of changing the rules. The Owners Corporations Act 2006 has been through a major review, the first amending bill reached Parliament in June 2026, and short-stay changed for everyone on 1 January 2025.
Your owners corporation's rules are void and unenforceable unless they are registered with Land Use Victoria.
What's inside
- The five tiers, and which obligations actually apply to your owners corporation
- Lot liability versus lot entitlement: what each does and why they differ
- Maintenance funds and maintenance plans, compulsory for tiers one and two
- Why your rules are void unless registered with Land Use Victoria
- Additional levies where one lot's use costs the owners corporation more
- Essential safety measures, pool registration, cladding and asbestos
- Short-stay: the power to prohibit it, the 75% threshold, and the principal-residence exemption
- The internal grievance procedure, written reasons, mediation and VCAT
- How to conduct yourself on a committee, the part no legislation covers
