Community Association Management is distinct from strata. It involves oversight of larger shared spaces, multiple property types, and complex governance structures under a Community Management Statement (CMS). Our experienced team understands these nuances and delivers solutions that ensure harmony, compliance, and efficiency.
A community association (or scheme) refers to a planned development, often comprising multiple residential or mixed‑use strata schemes, that operates under a Community Management Statement (CMS). Unlike a single strata scheme, the association manages shared infrastructure like parks, roads, landscaping, and shared facilities.
A community manager handles operational and strategic tasks across the association including:
Professional management helps keep your community compliant, well‑maintained, and financially sound. It enhances property value, prevents administrative overload, reduces disputes, and frees volunteer board members for strategic governance instead of daily operations.
Generally, fees cover insurance for common property and public liability under body corporate insurance as required by NSW legislation. However, personal contents and lot owner items (e.g., curtains, carpets) are not covered, residents must arrange individual policies.
Governance is typically carried out by an elected committee, often composed of representatives from strata schemes and neighbourhood lots. They act collectively in the association’s best interests and oversee compliance with the CMS and by‑laws.
The association committee defines governance policies, approves budgets, and enacts by‑laws. The manager acts as an advisor and implementing agent, not a decision-maker. All strategic decisions remain with the committee or owners.
