Can one difficult owner disrupt an entire strata scheme? Learn how good governance and experienced strata management can keep decisions moving.
Every strata scheme has by-laws that all residents must follow. These are the written rules. But the things that actually lead to a successful strata community aren’t always fully set in stone. They’re unspoken, and founded on consideration for shared living.
If joining a strata committee is something you’re considering, or something you’ve already taken on, you may have heard some changes are coming. From 1 October 2026, NSW is introducing mandatory annual training for both new and returning members.
Unlike a standalone home, buying a strata property means purchasing an individual lot while also becoming part of an owners corporation with shared responsibilities. For new owners, there are a few practical realities that may only become apparent after settlement.
Strata owners can have a tendency to judge their scheme by isolated issues like levy increases or repair delays, but success is better measured by longer-term trends than individual events. That’s how you really know things are improving.
For owners corporations, it’s important to know what to reasonably expect from their strata manager before issues arise. Many strata owners only interact with them when something goes wrong or an AGM is approaching, but it should be an ongoing process.
The start of a new financial year is often associated with personal tax returns, but it is also important for strata schemes. It’s not just another date. It’s an opportunity to review the building’s financial position, upcoming maintenance and priorities for the months ahead.
Terms like capital works fund, maintenance scheduling and forecasting might sound highly complex. But they’re just part of good long-term strata planning. Being organised and proactive helps reduce unnecessary, expensive surprises in the future.

It has been a pleasure interacting with Ian from the Repaid and Maintenance Support team on a multiple major issues with my unit. Ian has been very responsive and informative, assisting me in escalating the issue with the Strata manager to expedite the work order approval. Although the process is still ongoing, it gives me a peace of mind that Ian is doing his best to help and keeping me informed of every step in the process.
Very thank you and appreciate when you make a good environment and good communicate to owners to inform every single update and give some good solutions to us to choose. Work with ASSM is very happy and satisfied with the conscientiousness in their works.
Great stratra manager and always available to discuss issues etc. Have been with this agency for over 20 years, definitely recommend.
Rebecca from All Suburbs Strata has been incredibly professional, responsive, and proactive. She’s made a real difference in how smoothly our building runs. Clear communication, great follow-through, and genuine care for the community, highly recommend!
My primary contacts are Tina the Strata Manager, and Huong who follows through with the multiplicity of clerical functions. Both are quite exceptional in keeping the government informed and owners protected and happy. Both are very efficient and responsive in giving assistance to a somewhat novice Strata Committee member.
Tina Poole is an amazing Manager and I truly appreciate all she has done to help fix our unit.
previously I had given a 3 star but now that the issues have been fixed, I cannot thank Tina enough. She took over the situation in her hands and made sure that everything was done in a timely manner. Thank you. You are a true star Tina. Keep the fire burning with your hard work.
