NSW Strata: Yes, Your Owners Corporation Can Install Visitor Parking Signs 🚗

Strata buildings in high‑demand areas often struggle with visitor parking and many OCs aren’t sure what authority they actually have. Here’s the key takeaway:

If the council‑approved Development Consent shows spaces as “visitor parking”, the Owners Corporation must ensure they’re used that way, even if the strata plan doesn’t label them as such.

That means the OC can install visitor parking signage on common property, provided a special resolution is passed at a general meeting.

Why it matters:
Clear signage keeps visitor spaces available for genuine visitors, trades and emergency access and helps avoid the all‑too‑common resident takeover of these spots.

Practical steps for OCs:

- Confirm the Development Consent and approved plans
- Put a motion to a general meeting for signage/line marking
- Consider a parking by‑law for enforcement
- Communicate expectations to residents
- Enforce consistently (smart bollards can help)

Visitor parking isn’t optional, it’s a compliance requirement. Clear rules = fewer disputes + a better‑run scheme.

Staying on top of building compliance is one of the biggest responsibilities for any Owners Corporation and one of the easiest areas to fall behind on.

Here’s what every strata committee should focus on:

Know your obligations:- fire safety, WHS, essential services, insurance, risk management and more

Use digital tools to track deadlines, inspections and certifications

Keep records centralised so nothing gets lost between committee changes

Engage qualified contractors and ensure they’re properly licensed

Review compliance regularly instead of waiting for issues to arise

The message is simple: proactive compliance protects residents, reduces risk and saves money and with the right systems, it’s far easier than most committees realise.

If your building hasn’t reviewed its compliance processes lately, now’s the time. Need help with it? Call us on 1300 445 900

🍂 Autumn in Strata: 6 Things Every Building Should Stay On Top Of 🍂

As the weather cools down, it’s the perfect time for strata communities to get proactive about building care and resident wellbeing. A little prep now saves a lot of headaches later.

🍁 Gutter & Roof Checks
Falling leaves = blocked gutters. Prevent leaks and water damage by scheduling a clean and inspection.

🔥 Fire Safety Maintenance
Heaters and dryers get more use in cooler months. Make sure extinguishers, alarms and exit lights are up to date.

🌬️ Ventilation & Mould Prevention
Autumn humidity can trigger mould growth. Check ventilation systems and remind residents to keep air flowing.

🌳 Garden & Tree Pruning
Trim branches before winter storms arrive. It protects buildings, cars and residents.

💡 Lighting & Safety Walkthrough
Shorter days mean darker common areas. Test lighting, replace globes and review CCTV coverage.

🧰 Plan Winter Maintenance
Use Autumn to get ahead — book trades early for winter servicing (lifts, HVAC, plumbing).

Autumn is the season of preparation. A few smart checks now keep your strata community safe, efficient and ready for the colder months ahead.

Short‑term letting can be a hot topic in strata buildings — and getting the by‑laws right is crucial. A recent NCAT case has shed light on when a by‑law crosses the line into harsh, unconscionable or oppressive territory.

Here’s the simple breakdown:

✨ Reasonable conditions are allowed.
Things like asking owners to provide guest details or basic information aren’t a problem.

🚫 But some rules go too far.
In this case, the Tribunal found two major issues:

• Open‑ended administration fees — because they let the owners corporation decide and recover unlimited costs from owners.
• A mandatory bond — because it unfairly restricted an owner’s right to use their lot and duplicated protections already in the law.

💡 The takeaway:
Strata schemes can regulate short‑term letting, but the rules must be fair, clear, and not overstep what’s necessary to protect the building.

If a by‑law places an unreasonable burden on owners or gives the committee too much power, NCAT may strike it down.

Unit entitlements can feel like a mystery but they matter. They decide how much each owner pays in levies and how much “say” each lot has in the scheme.

So what happens if the unit entitlements seem… wrong?

A recent NCAT decision made things pretty clear:
👉 An owners corporation is not legally required to adjust unit entitlements even if they’re inaccurate.

NCAT confirmed that:
• There’s no duty under the Strata Schemes Management Act for the OC to apply for a change.
• There’s no duty of care requiring the OC to fix incorrect entitlements.
• Owners can’t claim compensation from the OC for overpaying levies due to incorrect entitlements.
• Individual owners can apply to NCAT themselves if they believe the entitlements need correcting.

💡 The takeaway:
Even if the numbers aren’t perfect, the OC isn’t obligated to fix them, but owners still have the right to take action if they feel it’s necessary.

Not every strata building needs an asbestos register.

If your building was built after 2003 and is purely residential, you’re usually in the clear.

Asbestos registers are mainly required when a building is considered a workplace and asbestos is present or likely to be.

Strata managers don’t have to include a motion for an asbestos register at the first AGM unless the building’s situation calls for it.

💡 Quick takeaway:
Newer residential buildings generally don’t need an asbestos register, but if you’re unsure, an inspection can give everyone peace of mind.
