Our Local Regions

Macarthur Strata manages buildings across the Macarthur region, Southern Highlands and South West Sydney. Each area has its own unique character, distinct building types, and local conditions. We understand these differences and support schemes with practical, steady guidance that suits their environment.

Local Conditions That Matter for Strata Owners

Strata laws are the same across NSW, but our region has local conditions that owners should be aware of. Many areas in Macarthur, Wollondilly and the Southern Highlands are subject to bushfire zoning, which affects building materials, approvals and insurance. Camden and Campbelltown have active floodplain overlays that influence drainage work and long-term maintenance. Parts of Picton, Bowral, and Mittagong are situated in heritage and conservation zones, which can restrict changes to facades, gardens, and exterior structures. New estates in Oran Park, Gregory Hills and Spring Farm often have extra design rules set by developers. These factors do not alter the law, but they can impact how a strata scheme is managed on a day-to-day basis.

Macarthur Region

The Macarthur region includes Camden, Campbelltown, Narellan, Elderslie, Spring Farm and surrounding suburbs. The area has a mix of older townhouse schemes, newer medium-density complexes and growing community associations. Many buildings are located near active flood zones or in areas with stormwater sensitivity, making drainage and long-term maintenance planning crucial. Newer estates also come with developer guidelines that shape early management decisions. We work with committees to ensure schemes remain compliant, practical, and well-organised as the region continues to grow.

Southern Highlands

The Southern Highlands include Bowral, Mittagong, Moss Vale and nearby suburbs. Buildings in this region often incorporate heritage considerations, mature landscaping and stronger environmental reactions. Schemes range from boutique townhouse complexes to lifestyle-style communities on larger parcels of land. Cold weather and older construction can lead to moisture and maintenance issues that require early attention. Owners value quiet living and community harmony, so communication and careful planning are essential. We provide support that respects the character of each scheme while keeping compliance and maintenance on track.

South West Sydney

South West Sydney encompasses Smeaton Grange, Gregory Hills, Oran Park, and other rapidly growing areas. The region is known for modern developments, commercial strata, industrial units and large community schemes. Many properties have heightened compliance needs, including fire safety, access control and essential services management. Developer handovers and complex common areas are common in this region. We help committees navigate rapid growth, mixed-use arrangements and the higher operational demands of active commercial or industrial environments.

FAQs

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.


What is a strata scheme?

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.

What do I actually own?

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.

What is the Owners Corporation?

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.

What does the strata committee do?

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.

What does a strata manager do?

A strata manager assists the Owners Corporation by organising meetings, managing finances, coordinating repairs, arranging insurance and ensuring compliance with NSW strata legislation.

What are strata levies, and what do they pay for?

Levies fund building insurance, cleaning, gardening, maintenance, repairs, compliance costs and long-term upkeep of the property.
