The body corporate looks after common property like roofs, external walls, shared plumbing, lifts and gardens. Anything inside your own lot is on you. Sounds simple, but the in-between bits are where most disputes start, and where a switched-on manager saves you real money and hassle. Knowing the line before something breaks, not after, is what makes the difference.

Not sure which side your repair sits on? That's exactly what we sort out.

We've mapped out where the line falls. Read it in our Education Library https://bit.ly/42p65MN

It isn't. Switching takes three steps: raise a motion to change managers at your AGM or committee meeting, hold a vote or postal ballot with the required majority, then follow the termination process in your current agreement.

On the other side is a building that runs smoothly and a committee that finally feels supported. Comment SWITCH and we'll send you a few quick questions to get you a no-obligation quote.

What does great communication actually look like?

It looks like never having to wonder what's happening with your building.

You get clear updates before you have to ask. Questions answered in days, not weeks. And a simple way to see where every job is up to.

In Queensland, keeping owners informed is a core part of good strata management. It's what turns a body corporate from a mystery into a team.

Here's the tip: the best sign of a well-run building is that things feel calm and clear. You always know who's doing what, and by when.

That's the standard we hold in Queensland. We make living better together.

Ever wondered who actually runs your building? Every owners corporation elects a committee and three of its members hold the roles that keep it running.

Failure to maintain Essential Safety Measures can result in serious consequences, including:

- Increased risk to occupants
- Council enforcement action
- Building notices or building orders
- Significant fines and penalties
- Potential insurance implications
- Legal liability in the event of an incident

Most importantly, non-compliance can compromise the safety of everyone in the building.

How often do Essential Safety Measures need to be serviced?

The required maintenance frequencies are determined by:
- The Occupancy Permit (where available)
- The Building Regulations 2018
- Australian Standard AS 1851-2012 – Routine service of fire protection systems and equipment
- Five, Ten and 25 year testing for certain systems

Of these, AS 1851-2012 is the primary standard used across Australia and specifies the inspection, testing, and maintenance intervals for fire safety systems.

Typical service intervals include:

- Monthly inspections
- Six-monthly servicing
- Annual servicing

These scheduled intervals ensure that systems remain operational, compliant and capable of protecting occupants throughout the building life cycle.

Meet Maddison Zigenbine, Associate Relationship Manager, QLD 👋

Maddie has been a valued member of the Smarter Communities team for an impressive 9.5 years, spending her entire tenure as an ARM. She's not just an ARM, she's the right arm of the business.

Her achievements include being recognised as 'QLD ACM of the Year' in both 2021 and 2023, along with the 'Simplify Strata Award' in 2024 and 2025. She's also proud to hold the unofficial but critical role of the office's 'Snack Ordering Gal' (just ask Sharnay, our Branch Manager).
