How We Made a Difference in Doncaster

The stories of the people and businesses we’ve supported speak volumes about the impact of our work. Check out how we’ve helped them succeed, and let’s discuss how we can do the same for you.

From Conflict to Clarity: Turning Around Strata Management

At a high-rise complex in Southbank, we supported the Committee through a challenging transition away from the Incumbent OCM, whose tenure had left residents frustrated by poor communication, inflated costs, and escalating arrears. Despite legal threats, withheld records, and administrative delays, we worked closely with the Committee to run a thorough tender process. The eventual appointment of the New OCM restored transparency, financial control, and confidence within the Owners Corporation.

Key Outcomes:
Communication: With our guidance, the Committee secured a responsive and transparent manager, restoring trust and engagement across the building.
Financial Recovery: Our transition brief enabled the new manager to resolve long-standing arrears and developer-related discrepancies.
Transition: We navigated legal resistance to ensure a full and timely handover of records, funds, and control.

From Proxy Conflicts to Proper Governance: Restoring Transparency

A residential building in Southbank faced internal division, proxy manipulation, and failed attempts to change management. We were engaged to help the Committee navigate legal tensions, developer influence, and competing interests. Despite the challenges, a transparent tender process led to the successful appointment of new management and restored confidence in the Owners Corporation.

Key Outcomes:
Governance Clarity: Enabled the OC to appoint new management through a compliant and fair process.
Impartial Tender: Delivered a transparent RFT that allowed all parties to participate.
Committee Unity: Helped stabilise a divided Committee with independent guidance.

What Our Clients in Southbank and Nearby Areas Have to Say

“As a quick update, our transition from Bluestone OCM to a new manager has been successful this week and is now fully onboard.

We acknowledge that we couldn’t have done it without you and your team’s help, so on behalf of the OCC and the Port Melbourne owners corporation, thanks for your advice, hard work, commitment, and support through the tender process. We look forward to working with the newly appointed OCM and their team.

We do hope we can work with you in the future (hopefully for a different appointment/contract) as we all were impressed at your professionalism, expertise, and promptness in responding to the required quick turnaround.

Thanks again Jordan, it was truly a pleasure working with you.”
