First step to changing Strata Managers

What you need to do -

  • If you are looking to change managers reaching out to other unit Owners is the first step. If you don't have a list of contact details ask your current manager for a copy of the other owners details. Discussing this change prior to the AGM allows owners to make a group decision in a civilised and timely manner before the AGM.

  • Find out when your current managing agency agreement expires (generally at the time of the AGM)

  • Obtain quotes from other strata firms prior to the AGM.

  • Owners hold a general meeting themselves. The agenda is as follows -

    • Confirm the minutes of the last AGM

    • Termination of current Strata Manager

    • Appointment of new Strata Manager

  • The meeting notice and agenda must be sent to all owners 14 days prior to the meeting date

  • At the meeting majority of owners present in person or by proxy must have a majority vote in favour of terminating the previous manager and appointing a new manager.

The aforementioned steps also apply to self-managed strata schemes if you are wishing to change management.
