Simon Chamaa

Owners corporation manager, Victoria. Writes on the Owners Corporations Act 2006, committees, levies and insurance.

Simon works with Victorian owners corporations and writes about how they operate under the Owners Corporations Act 2006. His articles cover the rules that decide who pays for what: the boundary between a private lot and common property, how annual and special levies are struck against lot liability, and what a maintenance plan and maintenance fund have to contain. He also writes on committee procedure, covering quorum, proxies, ballots and the notice periods an annual general meeting requires, and on owners corporation insurance: what a reinstatement policy covers, where contents and landlord cover sit alongside it, and how a valuation is kept current.
