Spring and summer bring NSW's peak storm season and for strata buildings, that means real risk to common property if preparation is left too late.

What to check now:
✅ Roof and gutter condition — blocked gutters are a leading cause of storm-related water damage
✅ Tree branches and overhanging vegetation near buildings or car parks
✅ Balcony drainage — make sure water can actually flow away, not pool
✅ Emergency contact list — is it current, and do residents know who to call after hours?
✅ Insurance policy — confirm your building is adequately covered for storm and water damage before, not after, an event

Storm damage claims spike every year in this period and buildings that prepared in advance recover faster and face fewer disputes over liability.

A proactive pre-storm-season checklist, reviewed with your strata manager, not scrambled together after the first major storm hits.

At Strata United, storm season preparation is part of our standard seasonal planning, not an afterthought.

Fire safety isn't a once-off tick-box, it's an ongoing legal obligation for owners corporations, and one that's easy to let slip between annual inspections.

What owners corporations need to stay on top of:
✅ Annual Fire Safety Statements (AFSS) — lodged correctly and on time
✅ Smoke alarms in common areas — tested and compliant with current standards
✅ Fire doors and exit pathways — kept clear and functional at all times
✅ Fire extinguishers and hydrants — serviced according to schedule
✅ Lithium-ion battery charging areas — a growing fire risk in modern buildings (something we've covered before!)

Non-compliance isn't just a safety risk, it can affect insurance claims, expose the committee to liability, and result in fines from local council.

A strata manager who tracks compliance deadlines proactively, so nothing is left until an inspector or an incident brings it to light.

At Strata United, fire safety compliance is tracked as standard across every building we manage.

Reporting Change for Small Schemes

Good News for 2-Lot Schemes: One Less Compliance Task

From 1 October 2026, owners corporations in 2-lot strata schemes are no longer required to complete annual strata reporting.

Why the change: it's designed to reduce administrative burden on smaller schemes, while the broader reporting framework stays in place for larger strata communities.

What this means if your scheme has 2 lots:
✅ One less annual compliance task to manage
✅ Less admin overhead for smaller, often self-managed schemes
✅ No change to your other obligations — insurance, maintenance, and by-law compliance still apply as normal

Not sure if this applies to your building? It's always worth confirming your scheme's exact obligations rather than assuming, rules can shift again.

At Strata United, we keep every client's compliance calendar current, so you never have to guess what applies to your scheme and what doesn't.

For many schemes, spring and early summer mean one thing: Annual General Meeting season. A well-run AGM sets the tone for your building's decisions all year so preparation matters.

What a well-prepared AGM needs:
✅ Financial statements reviewed and ready for presentation
✅ Agenda items circulated with enough notice for owners to prepare questions
✅ Motions clearly worded, especially anything requiring a special resolution
✅ Insurance renewal details finalised and ready to present
✅ Any by-law changes drafted correctly and compliant with legislation

Why it matters: rushed or poorly prepared AGMs often lead to unresolved motions, confused voting, or decisions that get challenged later.

The solution: a strata manager who does the heavy lifting well before the meeting, not just facilitates on the day.

At Strata United, we prepare every AGM pack with the same care we'd want if it were our own building.

As the weather warms up, it's the perfect time for owners corporations to get ahead of common seasonal maintenance issues before they become costly problems.

What to check this spring:
✅ Gutters and downpipes — clear before storm season increases rainfall intensity
✅ Common area gardens and irrigation — reassess watering needs as temperatures rise
✅ Pool and spa compliance — safety certificates and fencing checks, if applicable
✅ Air conditioning and ventilation systems — service ahead of peak summer demand
✅ External paint, render, and waterproofing — spot early signs of wear before summer storms arrive

Small maintenance issues left unchecked over spring often turn into expensive repairs or insurance disputes by summer's end.

A proactive maintenance plan, reviewed seasonally, keeps your building running smoothly and your budget predictable.

At Strata United, seasonal planning is built into how we manage every scheme , so nothing gets left until it's urgent.

E-bikes, e-scooters, laptops, power tools, vapes, lithium-ion batteries are everywhere in modern apartment living. But when they fail, they fail fast and dangerously.

Why they're uniquely dangerous:
🔥 Thermal runaway can generate heat exceeding 1,000°C
☠️ Failures release toxic gases that can fill corridors and stairwells in seconds
⚡ Even after flames are out, batteries can reignite hours or days later
⏱️ Fires reach maximum intensity in seconds, not minutes leaving little time to evacuate

The insurance impact: insurers are now raising excesses and scrutinising claims where unmanaged charging is involved.

What owners corporations should do:
✅ Keep corridors and stairwells completely clear of charging devices
✅ Require safety-certified batteries and chargers (look for the RCM mark)
✅ Never allow unattended overnight charging on beds, sofas, or carpets
✅ Direct residents to proper battery disposal points
✅ Register a dedicated Lithium-Ion Battery By-Law for real enforcement power

The bottom line: education helps, but without a registered by-law, committees have no real authority to enforce charging rules or hold non-compliant owners accountable.

At Strata United, we help committees put proactive safety measures and by-laws in place before an incident happens, not after.

08/10/2026

With the NSW Government moving toward banning insurance commissions for strata managers, a genuine question is starting to surface: will owners simply end up paying the same cost, just labelled differently?

What's actually happening:
Some strata managers are already telling clients that when commissions are banned, management fees will rise to offset the lost income. It's a fair concern to raise but is it the full picture?

Here's the key shift: removing commissions doesn't remove the cost of doing business, it moves that cost out of a hidden insurance commission and into a transparent management fee.

Why that actually benefits owners:
🔹 You see the true cost of your strata management, not a partially hidden one
🔹 It removes the incentive for a manager to choose an insurer based on commission rather than what's genuinely best for your building
🔹 It allows owners corporations to properly compare strata agencies on a like-for-like basis

The real question isn't "will costs change?" It's "am I finally seeing the full picture of what I'm paying for?"

At Strata United, we don't wait for legislation to force transparency, clear, upfront pricing is how we've always operated.

A Heads-Up From Strata United: New Committee Training Starts 1 October

From 1 October 2026, new and returning strata committee members in NSW will need to complete mandatory training within 3 months of appointment and we want our clients to feel completely across it, not caught off guard.

Here's what's changing:
✅ A free, self-paced ~1 hour course delivered online by NSW Fair Trading
✅ Must be completed within 3 months of being appointed to your committee
✅ Applies to new and returning committee members
✅ It's an annual requirement, not a one-off

The part worth knowing: if the training isn't completed in time, that person automatically stops being a committee member, no warning, no separate enforcement step required.

Important clarification: this training applies to committee members not strata managers, who already have their own separate licensing and professional development obligations.

Where it doesn't apply: members already on a committee before 1 October 2026 don't need to act immediately, only when next appointed or re-elected. Two-lot schemes and a few other categories are exempt too.

Our commitment to you: we'll be helping our clients track deadlines and keep committees informed as this rolls out so nobody loses their seat over a missed reminder.
