Frequently Asked Questions

Is BRIGHT & DUGGAN PTY LTD registered to manage owners corporations in Victoria?: Yes — BRIGHT & DUGGAN PTY LTD holds registration 001279 (current) on the Victorian Business Licensing Authority register, first granted 4 Oct 2019. Professional owners corporation managers in Victoria must be registered and hold professional indemnity insurance.
How can our committee change owners corporation managers?: Under the Owners Corporations Act 2006, an owners corporation appoints or replaces its manager by ordinary resolution — a simple majority at a general meeting or by ballot.

Where does this data come from?: Registration details come from the Victorian Business Licensing Authority public register.
