Frequently Asked Questions
What Is Strata Management?
The process of subdivision of property for development makes it necessary for a managing body to exist in order to deal with common ownership issues and topics of concern for the community.
When you purchase an apartment, unit, or townhouse, you’ll be purchasing a part of strata title, meaning you own part of the building and common areas as well as your own individual lot.
However, as there are many people involved, the owners meet as a strata corporation to make decisions. While it is theoretically possible for owners to deal with all the issues relating to common area structures, as well as issues between lot owners themselves, strata groups typically hire a professional strata management company.
Strata managers are appointed by the owners of an apartment block/land to manage the block on behalf of all owners. Strata managers work for the collective interest of all owners and provide advice and guidance for legal and financial matters, mediating discussions between owners.
Is There a Difference Between Strata and Body Corporate?
The legislation governing this area was changed in 1996. Thus, buildings built under the old Strata Titles Act are ‘Strata’, whereas building built after 1996 under the new Community Titles Act are called ‘Community’. The term ‘Body Corporate’ encompasses both strata and community.
Even though the terminology changed in 1996, people tend to stick with the old terminology. Therefore most companies offering management services in this area have the word ‘strata’ in their name.
Commonly, the terms ‘strata management’, ‘community management’ and ‘body corporate management’ are used interchangeably.
Why Do I Have to Pay Quarterly Contributions?
As you all own parts of the building and common areas, your quarterly contributions assist in the maintenance, management and running of these areas. These funds pay for things like insurance, cleaning, landscaping and electricity for shared spaces and more.
Can I Extend or Develop My Property?
It depends on a number of factors; however, there is no overarching rule against it.
Keep in mind, an extension can only be planned if it remains inside your allotted piece of land. Plans need to be approved by members of the corporation and the relevant council. They cannot be approved by your manager or the committee itself.
What Do I Do If I Have Problems at My Corporation?
The first thing you need to do is call your strata manager. All our managers are based in South Australia and thus have the local knowledge and understanding of South Australia specific issues. They have the best understanding of your rights and the relevant legislation. They will also be able to act as a mediator in any discussions regarding your issue.
What If We Want to Add Committee Members?
In general, owners add committee members through a resolution-based decision at their annual general meeting. If a vacancy arises, the management committee may appoint a suitable person to fill the role.
