Clear governance for multi-title developments
Fair levy allocation across all ownership groups
Coordinating maintenance of shared facilities
Transparent financial reporting and compliance
A Building Management Committee (BMC) is established under the Strata Schemes Development Act 2015. It comes into play when multiple strata schemes or other titles within a stratum subdivision share common facilities — such as car parks, foyers, or building services. A BMC provides a governance structure that allows all owners, regardless of the type of lot, to make joint decisions and manage those shared assets fairly.
Because of the multiple layers and diverse interests involved, BMCs can be highly complex. Clear communication, strong governance, and financial transparency are critical to making them work effectively.
We bring decades of experience managing BMCs across NSW, offering a steady hand and structured approach so all parties can work together seamlessly.
We proudly work with a wide range of Building Management Committees across NSW, including:
Large Residential Estates: Supporting multi-building communities with consistent standards, streamlined maintenance, and effective governance across all lots
Commercial & Retail Precincts: Managing high-traffic environments with a focus on safety, compliance, and cost efficiency for all stakeholders
No matter how complex the mix of buildings or owners, we treat every BMC community with the care, precision, and attention it deserves — leaving every building in a better place.
Managing a BMC can be complex, with multiple ownership groups and shared facilities to coordinate. We provide clear governance, fair budgeting, and seamless communication between all parties — making sure every stakeholder has confidence in the process. Our team takes care of compliance, maintenance, and financial oversight, so your community can focus on thriving together.
Here’s how we support you:
Coordinating maintenance of lobbies, car parks, lifts, and shared plant/equipment
Managing complex service agreements (cleaning, HVAC, fire safety, etc.)
Proactive asset management to prevent disputes and reduce costs
Accurate metering and billing across multiple ownership groups

Petersham
The Siding is a large multi-stage, mixed-use development in Sydney’s Inner West, managed under a BMC structure. With hundreds of residential apartments alongside retail and commercial spaces. Jamesons partnered with the Committee to introduce transparent cost allocation across strata plans, streamline meeting processes, and oversee major service contracts. Our experience with layered ownership has helped reduce administrative complexity and ensured that both residents and businesses benefit from a well-run, sustainable community.
Campbelltown
This BMC comprises several residential buildings with shared facilities. When Jamesons was engaged, the BMC needed clearer governance and streamlined processes to coordinate between owners and the on-site Building Manager. By strengthening communication between stakeholders and creating efficient systems, we’ve helped the BMC operate with less friction and stronger long-term planning.
Newtown
At 15 Erskineville Road, multiple strata plans come together under a BMC structure. One of the key challenges was ensuring owners clearly understood the difference between their strata committee’s responsibilities and those of the BMC. Jamesons worked closely with the Committee to create simple frameworks, clearer communication, and transparent reporting. By demystifying the process, we’ve helped reduce confusion for owners and ensured that decisions are made with confidence.
More Information
A Building Management Committee (BMC) is a governance structure that oversees shared facilities and services in mixed-use developments, where multiple strata, company title, or freehold properties exist within the same complex. It ensures fair cost-sharing and coordinated decision-making across all parties.
An Owners Corporation manages the common property within a single strata scheme. A BMC, on the other hand, coordinates shared facilities between two or more schemes or titles within a larger development
If your development includes more than one title — such as residential apartments above retail or commercial spaces — a Building Management Committee (BMC) is usually required. BMCs are established under the Strata Schemes Development Act 2015 and operate in line with a Strata Management Statement (SMS). The BMC manages shared services like lifts, car parks, gardens, and security systems, ensuring the costs are divided fairly between all owners.
No. BMCs are only required where there are stratum subdivisions with shared facilities. If your scheme doesn’t share services like lifts, car parks, or plant rooms with other owners, you won’t need a BMC.
