A Building Management Committee (BMC) is the governing body responsible for managing shared facilities and common interests within mixed-use developments. BMCs typically oversee the administration, maintenance, budgeting and coordination of shared areas used by multiple owners or occupiers.
Strata Choice provides specialised Building Management Committee management services across Sydney and NSW.
What Is a Mixed-Use Development?
A mixed-use development combines multiple property types within a single complex, such as residential apartments, retail premises, commercial offices, hotels or industrial facilities. These developments often share infrastructure, services and common areas, requiring coordinated management through a Building Management Committee.
Effective governance during the planning and delivery stages can significantly improve long-term outcomes for mixed-use developments.
