New owner guide

Welcome to your new home

Everything you need to know about your property and how we work together. Bookmark this page and come back whenever you need it.

01

Welcome to the Owners Corporation

As an owner, you are now a member of the Owners Corporation for your unit plan. The Owners Corporation is the collective body of all unit owners, responsible for the management and upkeep of common property.

Vantage Strata has been appointed to manage the Owners Corporation on your behalf. Our role is to ensure common property is maintained, the building operates as intended, and owners have what they need to make informed decisions. We work at the direction of the Executive Committee and the broader group of owners who make up the Owners Corporation.

Before you read on

If you've engaged a solicitor for your purchase, ask them to email your Section 115 Notice to adminsupport@vantagestrata.com.au. This gets you on the strata roll, unlocks your portal login to the Vantage Command Centre, and enables us to process any requests promptly.

02

Moving in

A few ways to be considerate of your new neighbours on moving day:

  • Keep accessways clear and avoid leaving removal vehicles on common property longer than necessary.
  • The complex isn't set up to handle large removalist waste such as oversized boxes, Styrofoam, and hard waste. Break these down and dispose of them at a nearby waste facility rather than leaving them in common bins.
  • Clean up any mess from the move as you go.

03

Owner Information Update Form

We receive ownership details from solicitors via the Section 115 Notice after settlement. On occasion this information arrives out of date or incomplete.

Please complete and return the Owner Information Update Form to adminsupport@vantagestrata.com.au at your earliest convenience. If you have already completed this form through the residents portal, please disregard this request.

For joint owners or companies, please also complete the nominee section of the form.

05

The Vantage Command Centre

Vantage Strata uses an online portal called the Vantage Command Centre. All residents are strongly encouraged to download the app - it's how you'll stay across important updates about the property.

Through the Vantage Command Centre, you can:

  • Access building documents, plans, and the Owners Corporation rules relating to your property
  • Submit maintenance requests and monitor progress
  • Order additional keys, fobs, and remotes
  • Review apartment guidelines including pets and alterations
  • Find recycling and waste disposal guidelines
  • Receive alerts and updates from your Strata Manager

Portal login

Your Vantage Command Centre login details are sent once we receive your Section 115 Notice and Owner Information Update Form.

06

Security

All residents share responsibility for building security. A few things to keep in mind:

  • Do not leave valuables in vehicles, including building access equipment such as remotes, keys, and swipe cards.
  • Do not allow tailgating into parking areas or entrance doors.
  • Ensure garage doors and other access doors are closed correctly after use.
  • If you have a storage cage, store only general items - not high-value belongings.
  • Report anything suspicious to police on 131 444.

07

General building information

Vantage Strata's role is to maintain common property and ensure the building operates as intended. We work at the direction of the Executive Committee and the broader Owners Corporation.

If your building has a basement:

  • Basements are regarded as wet areas. On occasion you may experience water seepage - this is by design and the basement has been built to accommodate it.
  • If your storage cage is in the basement, store only items suitable for a damp environment.
