| Being a Body Corporate Manage can be quite challenging (but it is also very rewarding)

👨‍👨‍👧‍👧 At any one time, within a single scheme - if you are in charge of 40 lots - that could be 80 people. Which could also mean, 80 vehicles and 80 pets! Across 10 Schemes, that could be 400 - 800 people with vehicles and pets to boot.

🧟 You might at some points within your contracted time have to be the “bad guy” because it’s your duty to follow the legislation. This could mean telling a lot owner that their request isn’t as simple as they might think it is (maybe a planned renovation has an element that needs to be voted on at a General Meeting, and the next AGM isn’t for 8 months). We dont love doing it! But we have to follow the rules as they are set out.

🗣️ You might have lot owners directing their frustrations that their levies went up at you - but the budget proposed was inflated merely to meet the needs of certain bills now being more expensive than they were last year.

📚 The legislation is hefty! The three most referred to pieces of documentation are the 1997 Act, the Standard Module and the Accommodation Module. That equated to 838 pages of legislation! And that's just the most utilised ones. There is also the Small Schemes module, the Speificfied Two-Lot module, and the Commercial module, and that's just the legislation specifically written for Body Corporate.

📝 The list goes on!

😀 But at the end of the day, its also super rewarding being able to take a really tricky sector and make it easier for the unsung heroes - the committee members! Usually an unpaid gig, they elect themselves to help the Body Corproate thrive for the good of the people.

👍 A good BC Manager will usually attract a great Committee. And that combo together will make for a fantastic and well running Body Corporate!

Those pastel hues reflected in still bayside water. Who would want to live anywhere else?

Whether you are a local or have only visited the Bayside a couple of times, you would have seen the three pillar sculpture. But did you know anything else about this permanent part of the Wynnum foreshore?

Created by local-to-Brisbane-artist, Stephen Newton - his artists statement reads as follows:

𝘣𝘶𝘭𝘬𝘢 𝘣𝘰𝘢𝘯𝘨𝘶𝘯

Symbolising the indigenous, non-indigenous and natural history of the Moreton Bay region, and commemorating the original pier built in 1882. Bulka Booangun means calling the dolphins, a reciprocal fishing practice used by the local Quandamooka people.

The more you know huh?
