Love & Co Strata Management

Love & Co is a family-run strata management business established in 1945 servicing owners corporations across Melbourne, combining genuine local knowledge with the kind of personal accountability you rarely find in a national chain. With offices in Reservoir and Collingwood, they look after buildings right across Melbourne, backed by an in-house after-hours emergency support team available 24/7 — no outsourced call centres, no waiting on hold when you need assistance most. Every owners corporation is assigned its own dedicated manager who knows the building inside out, a model built for fast responses and far less back-and-forth, while their Stratafy owner portal gives owners secure, round-the-clock access to OC documents and live financials for complete transparency. Family values, local expertise, and real responsiveness make Love & Co a strata manager Melbourne owners corporations can genuinely rely on.

Is Love & Co Strata Management registered to manage owners corporations in Victoria?

Yes — Love Owners Corporation Pty Ltd holds registration 000803 (current) on the Victorian Business Licensing Authority register, first granted 5 Dec 2013. 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. Check your current management contract for its notice period before resolving to switch, and have the new manager's contract of appointment ready for the same meeting.

Where does this data come from?

Registration details come from the Victorian Business Licensing Authority public register. Ratings and contact details come from the business's public Google listing, matched against the registered name and address. Victoria has no public register linking each owners corporation to its manager, so portfolio sizes shown for NSW managers aren't available here.
