Property conveyancing in Southbank: what you need to know.
Southbank is Melbourne's high-rise riverside precinct, a vertical neighbourhood of apartment towers wrapped around the arts precinct, Crown and the Yarra promenade. Almost every transaction here is an apartment, and the market is driven by investors, downsizers and professionals who want to live at the edge of the city.
Orange Legal Group provides fixed-price conveyancing across Southbank and the inner city. Our online, PEXA-based process lets us act efficiently for apartment buyers and sellers, and we are experienced in the Owners Corporation and building-related issues that high-rise transactions demand.

What we know about property in Southbank.
Housing stock, titles & overlays
Southbank is almost entirely high-density apartments on plans of subdivision with large, multi-tier Owners Corporations. Buildings commonly have separate limited Owners Corporations for car parks, retail and shared plant, substantial budgets and maintenance-fund liabilities. Car parks and storage cages can sit on separate titles. Combustible-cladding rectification remains relevant in some towers.
City of Melbourne
Southbank sits within the City of Melbourne. The planning certificate is ordered through LANDATA and generally returned same-day. The City of Melbourne Land Information Certificate commonly takes up to about ten business days, with a priority option. Allow extra time around the July rating year.
What we look for in a Southbank Section 32
We focus on all Owners Corporation certificates and budgets, maintenance funds, special levies, defects and cladding rectification. We also confirm whether car parks and storage cages are on title and review off-the-plan sunset and disclosure provisions where relevant.
