Strata title communities are governed by a body corporate
In a strata title community, a body corporate is the corporation that manages the common property and makes decisions for the development. It is an organization made up of all the owners of a strata scheme. Each lot owner is automatically a member of the body corporate, and has the right to vote and participate in decisions. It also has the power to hire contractors to perform specific roles, such as maintenance and administration. However, it can only make decisions at a general meeting called an annual general meeting (AGM). Strata title communities are required to elect a committee at every AGM to manage the day-to-day operations of the strata scheme.

Strata title communities are responsible for repairs and maintenance
If your community has a strata plan, it will outline the general duties of the strata company. These duties include repairs and maintenance of common property.

If your strata plan specifies that the strata corporation is responsible for repairs and maintenance, make sure you read the governing documents carefully. If you do not know your responsibilities, it could lead to costly mistakes and legal battles. A proactive strata management company can help residents and council members understand what their responsibilities are.
