Is Hartley's Body Corporate Management a licensed body corporate manager in Queensland?

Queensland does not require body corporate managers to hold a state licence or register publicly — unlike Victoria or NSW. Managers operating in QLD should hold a real estate agent's licence (if dealing with management rights) and are subject to the Body Corporate and Community Management Act 1997 (BCCM Act). Hartley's Body Corporate Management appears in the SCA QLD directory and/or verified Google Business data.

How can our committee change body corporate managers in QLD?

Under the BCCM Act, the body corporate committee can terminate the manager's contract subject to its terms (typically 30–90 days notice). For a Standard Module scheme, the body corporate can pass a resolution at a general meeting to appoint a new manager. Management contracts are separate from caretaking agreements — only the body corporate manager role can be changed by ordinary resolution. Get competing proposals before your next AGM.

What body corporate modules does QLD use?

The BCCM Act uses five regulation modules: Standard (owner-occupied residential), Accommodation (holiday letting, up to 25-year caretaking agreements), Small Schemes (3–6 lots), Commercial (commercial/retail/industrial), and Two-Lot schemes. The module determines what rules apply to your scheme's management and dispute resolution — check your community management statement to confirm which applies.

Where does this data come from?

Contact details and ratings come from each business's public Google listing, matched against manager names from the SCA QLD directory and industry sources. Google review data is independently collected — not self-reported. Website enrichment (year established, specialisms, manager model) is sourced from the manager's public website.
