Self-Governance Tier · NSW

Run your strata, without a manager.

Your committee already does the work. OurCommons gives you the tools a professional firm uses to do it properly: AGMs with the notice periods built in, proper double-entry funds, levy management end to end, and an owner portal so residents stop calling the secretary.

NSW schemes first. VIC and QLD coming once self-managed reporting is validated.

Who it's for

Self-managed is a different product to our professional firm tier. Pick the one that matches your building.

This is you

Self-managed OC

An elected committee handles levies, meetings and money itself, no management firm appointed.

  • Volunteer chair, secretary and treasurer
  • Owners' money in the OC's own account
  • One building, paid for directly
Not this tier

Professionally managed

A licensed strata manager firm runs your building. You'd use our owner portal, not the operator tools.

What's included

Everything a manager does, run by your committee

The same engine professional firms use, tuned for one building and volunteer office bearers. One flat price, nothing bolted on.

Meetings and AGMs

NSW notice periods and quorum checks built in. Agendas, motions, attendance, votes and signed minutes. The procedural record is there before anyone asks for it.

Levies

Draft, approve, send and chase levy notices across both funds. BPAY references pre-filled for each lot. Arrears tracked automatically, with formal payment plans when you need them.

Body Corporate Funds

Double-entry bookkeeping, CSV bank import, reconciliation and owner reports on the OC's own account. If the treasurer moves out, the new one logs in and picks up where they left off.

Office-based control

Chair, secretary and treasurer powers, with multi-sig on every payment. Spending authority is set in the platform, not in a policy document that depends on everyone following a rule.

Governance

By-laws, resolutions, key dates and a full audit trail of decisions. Every motion and vote is indexed to the meeting it came from. When an owner challenges something, you send them the exact record.

Maintenance

Log issues, track tradies and quotes, keep owners in the loop. Every ticket has a status your owners can follow — not a black hole they chase via text.

Owner portal

Every owner sees their levy balance, downloads documents and logs maintenance requests from their phone — without calling the secretary. The same portal owners in professionally managed buildings get.

Documents and records

Minutes, by-laws, insurance certificates and the strata roll, all in one place. When a lot sells and the solicitor needs the section 184 certificate, everything is in order.

Not at launch: Not at launch: the CoMo AI assistant, the vendor marketplace, and multi-building portfolios are built for professional firms and aren't part of the self-managed tier yet. You import bank statements by CSV; automatic bank feeds are coming later.

Transparent pricing

$79.20/ lot / year

incl GST

Billed annually to the OC's legal name. No firm markup, no setup fee, and you can cancel any time. The price is on this page — which is rarer in this market than it should be.

20 lots = $1,584/yr (incl GST) · about $6.60/lot/month

Two products, two audiences

Self-managed committees pay a flat retail rate. Professional firms pay wholesale per-lot pricing across a portfolio. Two products, two audiences — not rungs on one ladder.
