Strata Committees – Get Involved in Yours

How can I become involved with my strata committee? And why should I?

Check your states tab for the latest information about Strata Committees. New information and links are added regularly. Be sure to check back to be kept up-to-date.

According to Strata Community Association (NSW), here is the definition of the Committee:

  • Responsible for the administration of an owners corporation. They are a group of owners elected at each Annual General Meeting who represent all the lot owners of the strata scheme and carry out duties required under the relevant laws. These include the control, maintenance and repair of the common property. The committee also has the responsibility of enforcing the by-laws of the scheme. Previously referred to as the executive committee, other references include managing committee, management committee, committee of management, or just the committee.
