Despite the media's focus on the negatives of strata living in Sydney, including building defects and lifestyle losses, the reality for many is quite different.

Strata living provides a diverse range of housing options to suit various life stages and lifestyles, from older walk-ups to luxury complexes with amenities.

While acknowledging the need for legislative reform, it's clear that strata serves as a viable solution to Australia's housing crisis through increased density.
Essential infrastructure and services remain crucial to this model's success.
Beyond just offering a place to live, strata communities foster a sense of belonging and provide numerous social benefits, such as communal events, shared activities, and support networks.
These communities demonstrate that, with positive engagement and communication, strata living can significantly enhance residents' lives, proving that the narrative around strata deserves a more balanced view.

Transform your strata apartment living by creating a vibrant balcony garden with Genesis' expert tips, tricks and inspiration from Zohra Azizy's thriving herb oasis.

They understand the nuances of strata living and share valuable insights:
Select a sunny, sheltered spot on your balcony, use well-draining containers, and enrich the soil with organic matter. Start with herbs like basil, mint, and thyme, tailored for Sydney's climate, and water them wisely. Prune regularly and harvest in the morning for the best flavors. Guard against pests naturally and provide proper support for climbing herbs. Be weather-ready and move your pots indoors during extreme conditions. Refresh your soil annually for healthy growth, and most importantly, enjoy the therapeutic experience of gardening.

With these tips, you can turn your balcony into a green haven, savoring the convenience of fresh herbs and the joy of nurturing your own thriving garden in strata living.

Ask any leader in a strata business what their biggest challenge is, and the answer will be people. Finding and keeping engaged, proactive, intelligent, kind and capable people. And to work successfully in strata, you really do need to be all those things.

We're equal parts protective and grateful for our culture here at Genesis, that first attracts and than retains true super stars.

Today we shout out and celebrate Nicole Johnson, who last week hit that magical (and getting rare!) five year milestone at Genesis.

Thank you Nicole. You're commitment to our owners, your teammates, and our suppliers is impressive, and real. Thank you for all that you've done for us!

What is the Annual Fire Safety Statement?

In New South Wales (NSW), an Annual Fire Safety Statement (AFSS) is a document that verifies that the fire safety measures within a building or premises have been assessed, tested, and maintained in accordance with the requirements of the Environmental Planning and Assessment Regulation 2000.

The AFSS is a legal requirement for certain buildings and premises, and it must be issued and displayed prominently within the building or premises. The document provides evidence that the fire safety measures are in place and are being properly maintained to ensure the safety of occupants and compliance with fire safety standards.
