Living in a body corporate community offers a practical, low-maintenance lifestyle that suits many Queenslanders.
Whether in a townhouse complex, apartment building, or mixed-use development, body corporate living combines convenience, shared management, and a sense of community that traditional home ownership doesn’t always provide.
1. Shared maintenance and hassle-free living
One of the main attractions of body corporate living is the shared responsibility for maintenance and upkeep.
Instead of worrying about mowing lawns, cleaning pools, or arranging building repairs, owners contribute to a body corporate fund that takes care of these tasks collectively. This ensures the property remains well maintained year-round, without the need for individual owners to coordinate trades or services themselves.
2. Access to shared facilities and amenities
Many body corporate schemes feature shared amenities such as swimming pools, gyms, and barbecue areas – facilities that might otherwise be out of reach for an individual homeowner.
These shared spaces not only enhance lifestyle but also add value to the property and create opportunities for residents to connect and socialise.
3. Added security and peace of mind
Body corporate communities often provide an added layer of security.
Gated access, intercom systems, and on-site management are common features, offering reassurance to residents. The close proximity of neighbours also contributes to a safer environment and stronger sense of vigilance.
4. By-laws that protect property standards
A body corporate helps preserve the overall standard and appearance of the community through by-laws.
These rules cover issues such as noise, parking, pets, and external appearance. While harmony still requires cooperation from all residents, by-laws help maintain consistency and protocol, and protect property values.
5. Cost efficiency through shared expenses
Living in a body corporate can be more cost-effective than maintaining a standalone property.
Body corporate levies cover shared expenses such as insurance, building maintenance, and common area management. Pooling resources allows owners to achieve better value and a higher standard of maintenance and service than would be possible individually.
6. A property that suits most lifestyles
Whether you’re a first-time buyer, a downsizer looking for convenience, or an investor seeking a well-managed property, body corporate living offers flexibility and ease.
With fewer maintenance demands and access to shared facilities, it’s an appealing option for anyone wanting a balance of comfort, security, and community.
7. Community and social connections
Living in a body corporate often comes with a built-in sense of community. Shared spaces, common facilities, and regular interactions with neighbours create opportunities to connect, collaborate, and build relationships. For many residents, this environment fosters a stronger sense of belonging and security.

Roofs and Gutters in a Body Corporate Community
Responsibility for maintaining roofs and gutters in a body corporate depends on how the property is registered – either under a building format plan (BFP) or a standard format plan (SFP). These survey plans define where lot boundaries sit and, in turn, determine whether a roof or gutter forms part of the common property or is the individual owner’s responsibility.
