Management Corporations in Northern Territory

Northern Territory (NT) – Management Corporation & Strata Management

The Northern Territory is Australia's 'outback state' offering a wide variety of climates and a remaining heritage of Aboriginal culture. NT has more than 2100 strata properties on title representing over 18,000 units. The state capital, Darwin, was named after Charles Darwin. Darwin is forecasted to continue strong growth in the strata property sector due to the presence of military and the mining boom boosting housing construction.

Northern Territory body corporate terminology may differ from other states. Strata Agents manage the common property of the Unit Title with the help of a Committee. When buying and selling property, the vendor disclosure document for the Management Corporation is not compulsory but may be in the Section 37.

Prior to the legislation in Northern Territory changing in July 2009, all unit plans registered prior to this date are covered under the Unit Titles Act 2009 and Unit Titles (Management Modules) Regulations 2009.  Any developments registered after July 2009 is under the Unit Titles Schemes Act 2009 and Unit Titles Schemes (Management Modules) Regulations 2009.
