• the Director of Consumer Affairs Victoria and the Business Licensing Authority (BLA) with contact information to inform managers about changes to legislation affecting them
• the Director of Consumer Affairs Victoria and the BLA with information on owners corporations managed by a registered manager, to enable them to contact the owners corporations about the activities of the manager.

The requirement to maintain the register is outlined in section 194 of the Owners Corporations Act 2006.
