Adelaide Strata and Community Management

30/10/2026

The scariest thing in your building isn’t a ghost. It’s poor strata management.

While kids are out hunting for lollies tonight, plenty of owners are dealing with real-life horror stories:

👻 Repairs that drag on for months with no updates
👻 Unexpected special levies or contributions nobody planned for
👻 Emails and calls that disappear into the void
👻 Financial reports that are impossible to understand

If any of these sound familiar, it might be time for a change.

ASCM keep things refreshingly unscary with responsive communication, transparent finances, proactive maintenance planning, and a team that actually picks up the phone.

Changing strata managers is easier than many owners think and we’ll guide your committee through every step.

SA strata owners: if your building had to be rebuilt tomorrow, would the insurance cover it?

It's a confronting question. But it's exactly what an insurance valuation answers.

Premiums keep rising across Australia, and insurers want detailed, current information about every building.

An outdated valuation can leave your strata or community corporation:
→ Underinsured, with owners covering the gap
→ Overinsured, paying for cover it doesn't need
→ Exposed to financial risk nobody planned for

An independent replacement valuation takes the guesswork out. Ask your manager when yours was last done.

Your building’s common property can become a workplace. Is it safe for life?

October is National Safe Work Month with a theme "Safe work is for life.” It’s a reminder that safety isn’t just about avoiding an accident today. It’s about protecting people’s health and future, so everyone goes home safe.

Your building may have work health and safety duties to identify and manage hazards. A loose balustrade, a poorly lit car park, or an unchecked contractor could expose your building and your committee to serious risk.

That’s where professional strata management makes a difference. ASCM help buildings stay safe and compliant by:

🔹 Checking contractor licences and insurance before any work begins
🔹 Coordinating regular safety and maintenance inspections
🔹 Keeping fire safety and compliance records up to date
🔹 Acting quickly when owners or residents report hazards

Safety shouldn’t depend on luck. It should be built into how your building is managed.

It’s National Water Week, and this year’s theme, “Water Connects Everything,” hits close to home in strata.

In an apartment building, water doesn’t stay in one place. A slow leak behind a bathroom wall in one lot can travel through slabs and ceilings, damaging common property and neighbouring apartments before anyone notices.

By the time the stains appear, owners corporations are often facing:
🔹 Costly remedial work to common property
🔹 Insurance claims and rising premiums
🔹 Disputes between lot owners over who pays
🔹 Mould and health concerns for residents

The good news? Most of this is preventable.

ASCM help owners corporations stay ahead of water damage with proactive maintenance planning, regular building inspections, fast coordination of licensed contractors, and clear communication with every owner and resident.

Good strata management isn’t just about paperwork. It’s about protecting your building, your budget, and your community.

Many owners have strong opinions about how their property is run but never take the next step. The AGM is your opportunity to share your views and nominate for the committee. Committee members help make decisions on repairs, contractors, renovation approvals and by-law compliance. If you care about where your building is heading, this is how you help steer it.

Your strata committee makes day-to-day decisions on behalf of all owners, from finances to repairs. But the committee doesn’t appoint itself. Owners elect it at the AGM. That vote shapes how your building is managed for the next 12 months, so it’s worth knowing who’s nominating and what they stand for.

Every scheme must hold an Annual General Meeting each financial year, and it’s where owners vote on the money matters that affect them most: the annual budget, levies, insurance, maintenance and repairs. If you skip the AGM, you’re handing that decision to someone else. Show up, ask questions, and vote on where your money goes.

Slow replies. Meetings that go nowhere. Minutes that don’t match what was actually said. And when a dispute comes up, a manager who seems to be on someone else’s side.

Sound familiar?

Great strata management starts with great communication. Here’s what you should expect:

✅ Set response times. You know exactly when you’ll hear back, every time.
✅ Well-run meetings. Clear agendas, focused discussion, decisions made.
✅ Accurate minutes. A true record of what was agreed, so there’s no confusion later.
✅ Neutral guidance. By-laws and disputes explained fairly, without taking sides.

When communication is clear, your building runs smoother, owners feel heard, and small issues don’t turn into big ones.

If your current manager isn’t delivering this, it might be time for a change.

Not every strata decision can wait for the AGM.

When something urgent comes up in your building, owners don’t have to sit tight until the next Annual General Meeting. An Extraordinary General Meeting (EGM) can be called at any time of year to deal with decisions that simply can’t wait.

Common reasons to call an EGM include:

🔹 Raising a special levy to cover unexpected costs
🔹 Approving major works or urgent repairs
🔹 Changing existing by-laws or creating new ones

Acting quickly can protect your property, your budget, and your community’s peace of mind.

There are three main types of meetings that are held for a strata scheme (also known as a body corporate). These include committee meetings, annual general meetings (AGMs) and extraordinary general meetings (EGMs) or special general meetings (SGM). This guide explains why meetings are required, and....
