Warning signs can include unresolved maintenance requests, repeated communication problems, unclear financial reporting, missed follow-up or a lack of proactive support. Committees do not need to wait for a major breakdown before reviewing their options.

How do I change strata managers in NSW?

Review the existing agreement and notice requirements, discuss the proposed change with the strata committee, compare suitable management proposals and arrange for the owners corporation to vote at a general meeting.

Does changing strata managers require an owners corporation vote?

The appointment should be formally considered and approved by the owners corporation at a properly convened general meeting. The exact process should reflect the scheme’s circumstances and current management agreement.

How long does it take to change strata managers?

The timeframe usually depends on the existing agreement’s expiry or notice provisions and when the required general meeting can be held. Reviewing the contract early helps the committee create a realistic transition plan.

Relevant books, records, financial information, accounts and official documents are transferred from the outgoing manager to the incoming manager as part of the handover process.
