Victoria

Public Notices & Disputes Register

A public register where people record sworn accounts of owners corporation disputes and notices, and where anyone can search those accounts. When a building with a published notice is listed for sale, PNDR's technology watches the market and sends word of it into the sale, so the buyer can read it before signing.

How Strata Sales Watcher works Register your matter

Buyers deserve to know what they are buying into.

Find out before you sign, not after you settle

When a strata property is listed for sale, Strata Sales Watcher, PNDR's technology, is watching the market. If the building has a published notice on pndr.au, the people in that sale, the agent, the solicitors and the owners, are sent word that the notice exists and where to read it. The seller can bring the certificate in the contract up to date; the buyer reads the record before signing. No opinion, no fee, no guesswork.

A public register that watches live listings across Australia, starting with Victoria, and delivers the record to the sale at no charge has not been built in the Australian strata market before.

How the register works

  1. Lodge a notice

    A party to a dispute files a short, factual notice with a statutory declaration and one supporting document.

  2. Reviewed before it shows

    A person checks every notice against the register's rules before anyone can see it.

  3. The owners corporation is told first

    It has fourteen days to reply, free. The reply is published with the notice.

  4. Search a building

    Anyone can search by address and see the notices lodged about that building, each with its status as at a date.

During the Victorian launch period, lodging a notice is free. Searching is free. Replying is free. Removing or correcting your own notice is free. Any change to lodging fees will be announced on this page in advance.
