A stable financial position ensures a building remains functional. We help committees understand levies, budgets and long-term planning so the scheme stays healthy and prepared for the future. Recent legislative changes mean Owners Corporations must follow stricter levy recovery processes. This includes considering payment plan requests reasonably and complying with legislated timelines and procedures.
We collaborate with committees to establish realistic budgets that align with the building’s needs. This includes capital works fund preparation and levy forecasting. You receive clear, easy-to-understand reports at a glance. Capital works plans must now consider the developer’s original maintenance schedule as a starting point, subject to review and update. This can impact how funds are allocated during the first decade of a scheme.
We manage arrears promptly and communicate with owners respectfully. Our financial reports are easy to read and delivered on schedule. You gain visibility into income, expenses, and upcoming commitments. Updated regulations extend the required notice period before levy recovery action can commence and establish guidelines that committees must follow when allocating payments.
Costs vary between areas. Bushfire zoning, heritage overlays and floodplain conditions can affect repairs and insurance. We understand these local factors and guide committees accordingly. Fire safety compliance can also impact budgets, with AS1851 requiring detailed onsite record-keeping and routine services that attract significant penalties if overlooked.

running smoothly with local knowledge and dependable support.

These answers cover strata schemes, community associations, neighbourhood associations and building management committees. Different rules apply depending on the type of scheme and its governing legislation.
A strata scheme is a form of property ownership where you own your individual lot and share ownership of common property such as roofs, driveways, stairwells and gardens with other owners.
In most cases, you own everything inside your lot. This depends on the registered strata plan and its date, particularly for schemes registered before July 1974.
Items such as walls, ceilings, structural elements, pipes, roofs and external features are usually common property. However, the registered strata plan always determines who is responsible.
The Owners Corporation is the legal body made up of all lot owners in the scheme. It is responsible for managing common property, finances, insurance, compliance and by-laws.
The strata committee makes day-to-day decisions on behalf of the Owners Corporation between general meetings, within the limits set by legislation and resolutions.
A strata manager assists the Owners Corporation by organising meetings, managing finances, coordinating repairs, arranging insurance and ensuring compliance with NSW strata legislation.
Levies fund building insurance, cleaning, gardening, maintenance, repairs, compliance costs and long-term upkeep of the property.
