What is Residential Strata Management?
Residential strata management is the professional oversight of shared residential properties, such as apartment complexes and townhouses. It encompasses the administration of common areas, financial management, compliance with legal requirements, and maintenance coordination. Unlike individual property management, strata management focuses on the collective needs of all owners and residents within a strata scheme.
At Jamesons, we specialise in navigating these responsibilities, providing tailored solutions that foster harmonious communities and well-maintained properties.
Examples of residential strata management
We manage a wide variety of residential properties across NSW, including:
- Apartment Complexes – From small boutique buildings to large multi-tower developments, we tailor our approach to suit each community’s needs.
- High-Rise Residential Towers – Managing complex compliance requirements, security, concierge services, and shared amenities like pools, gyms, and rooftop spaces.
- Heritage and Boutique Buildings – Caring for unique or older buildings that require careful maintenance planning, heritage compliance, and specialised support.
- Townhouse Communities – Overseeing shared spaces like driveways, gardens, and recreational areas while supporting harmonious, low-maintenance living.
Each residential building type comes with its own needs — from maintaining shared spaces to managing finances and fostering community living. Our team understands these differences and delivers tailored management for them all.

Frequently Asked Questions
Residential strata management is the professional management of shared living spaces such as apartment buildings, townhouse complexes, and residential estates. It involves maintaining common areas, managing finances, ensuring legal compliance, and supporting harmonious community living.
Professional strata management keeps your property compliant, well-maintained, and financially stable. It helps protect property values, reduces stress for owners, and creates a more enjoyable living environment for residents.
In Australia, residential strata management is governed by state laws such as the NSW Strata Schemes Management Act. Licensed strata managers handle budgeting, maintenance, insurance, compliance, and dispute resolution on behalf of the owners corporation.
Challenges include balancing different owner and resident expectations, coordinating maintenance across shared spaces, managing arrears, and keeping up with changing compliance requirements. An experienced strata manager proactively addresses these issues to keep your community running smoothly.
Fees typically cover administration, financial reporting, maintenance coordination, insurance management, and compliance oversight. Costs are shared among owners based on unit entitlements and are set through agreed budgets and levies.
Look for a company with proven experience, transparent fee structures, strong communication skills, local expertise, and a proactive approach to maintenance and compliance. Choosing the right manager makes a significant difference to your property’s value and daily living experience.
A residential strata manager oversees building maintenance, manages financial operations, ensures legal compliance, communicates with owners and residents, and supports the committee in making informed decisions for the community.
Without effective management, issues like maintenance delays, compliance breaches, financial mismanagement, and resident disputes can arise. Good strata management protects your property, your investment, and fosters a strong, connected community.
Residential strata management focuses on maintaining living spaces, building community harmony, and meeting owner-occupier needs. Commercial strata management deals more with business operations, leases, fit-outs, and more complex regulatory requirements.
