What is Community Association Strata Management?

Community Association management involves overseeing large, master-planned residential developments that combine individual lots with extensive shared facilities and infrastructure. Unlike standard strata schemes, Community Associations manage communal assets like private roads, parks, recreation centres, and landscaping across multiple lots or sub-schemes.

Managing a Community Association requires specialist expertise in balancing shared and individual lot responsibilities, financial management, compliance with the Community Land Management Act, and fostering strong community engagement.

We specialise in supporting Community Associations with structured governance, transparent financial management, proactive maintenance coordination, and clear communication, helping diverse communities run smoothly, fairly, and sustainably.

Examples of Community Association Strata Management

At Jamesons, we manage a wide range of Community Associations across NSW, including:

  • Master-Planned Residential Communities: Developments featuring private roads, shared parks, clubhouses, pools, and recreational facilities managed under a Community Association structure.
  • Mixed-Use Precincts: Communities that combine residential lots, retail centres, and commercial facilities, requiring careful management of shared infrastructure and cost allocations.
  • Gated Communities: Secure residential estates where private roadways, security services, and shared landscaping are maintained collectively by the Community Association.
  • Multi-Stage Developments: Large precincts developed over several stages, where multiple strata and neighbourhood schemes operate under a single Community Association framework.
  • Lifestyle and Over-55s Communities: Community Associations combining private residences with extensive communal amenities, designed to support active, engaged lifestyles.

Frequently Asked Questions

A Community Association manages shared infrastructure, facilities, and services across a development made up of multiple lots or schemes. It typically covers private roads, parks, recreational centres, and landscaped areas, supporting the overall operation and governance of the broader community.

While strata schemes manage common property within a single building or parcel, a Community Association oversees shared facilities across multiple lots, buildings, or even different types of schemes (residential, retail, commercial) within a larger precinct. Community Associations are governed by the Community Land Management Act rather than the Strata Schemes Management Act.

Professional management ensures smooth governance, financial transparency, proactive maintenance, and clear communication across diverse owners. It protects shared assets, fosters strong community engagement, ensures legal compliance, and helps maintain and enhance property values.

Community Association management in Australia is governed by state-based legislation, such as the NSW Community Land Management Act 2021. Managers support the Community Association Committee (CAC) by overseeing financial management, governance, maintenance coordination, compliance, insurance, and dispute resolution processes.

A Community Management Statement (CMS) sets out the rules, by-laws, and management structure for a Community Association. It outlines the use of shared property, obligations of lot owners, and the financial arrangements for maintaining communal facilities.

Management fees are typically based on the size, complexity, and range of services required by the Community Association. Fees usually cover governance support, financial management, maintenance coordination, compliance oversight, and community engagement services, funded through levies paid by lot owners.

Look for a management company with proven experience in Community Associations, strong expertise in governance and compliance, clear communication practices, proactive financial management skills, and a track record of building sustainable, engaged communities.
