Is Your Body Corporate at Risk?

Avoid These Common Compliance Pitfalls with the Right Strata Manager

Managing a Body Corporate comes with significant responsibilities, and compliance is at the heart of ensuring a well-run, financially secure, and legally sound community. However, even the most diligent Committees can face challenges in staying on top of regulations. Without the right support, compliance pitfalls can lead to unnecessary disputes, financial penalties, and operational inefficiencies. This is where a proactive and knowledgeable Strata Manager, like SSKB, can make all the difference. Here are three of the most common compliance mistakes—and how the right guidance can help you avoid them.

1. Missed Deadlines – The Hidden Risks of Falling Behind

Annual General Meetings (AGMs), financial reports, insurance renewals, and maintenance schedules all follow strict deadlines. Failing to meet these timeframes can lead to financial penalties, disputes, or legal complications.

For many Committees, juggling these responsibilities alongside other commitments can be overwhelming. Having a well-structured system in place, with proactive reminders and professional support, ensures that key deadlines are never overlooked.

At SSKB, our expert Community Managers help Committees stay on top of their compliance obligations, ensuring all required actions are completed on time—giving you peace of mind that your Body Corporate is always operating within legal requirements.

2. Keeping Up with Regulation Changes – Are You Up to Date?

Strata legislation is constantly evolving, and these changes can directly impact how a Body Corporate operates. New laws may introduce additional responsibilities for Committees, financial obligations, or modifications to dispute resolution processes.

Staying informed and interpreting these changes correctly is essential. With SSKB’s industry expertise, we provide Committees with clear updates and practical advice, ensuring your scheme is always compliant with the latest legislation. A knowledgeable and proactive approach can make all the difference in avoiding compliance risks.

To further support Committees and lot owners, SSKB regularly holds educational events through the SSKB Strata Series. These sessions provide valuable insights into industry changes, best practices, and expert guidance to help you confidently navigate the complexities of Body Corporate management. By staying informed through our Strata Series, Committees can ensure they are well-prepared for any regulatory updates that impact their scheme.

3. Poor Record-Keeping – The Risk of Missing Documents

Accurate record-keeping is a key pillar of good Body Corporate management. Important documents—such as financial statements, meeting minutes, maintenance logs, and by-laws—need to be readily accessible and properly maintained.

When records are incomplete or disorganised, Committees may struggle with:

  • Disputes over past decisions
  • Delays in approvals and maintenance planning
  • Fines for failing to meet regulatory requirements

With SSKB, Committees have access to structured, transparent, and secure record-keeping. Our systems ensure that all necessary documentation is easily accessible and up to date, reducing the risk of compliance issues and keeping your scheme running efficiently.

Through the SSKB Strata App and mySSKB Client Portal, Committees and lot owners can access important records at the touch of a button. Whether you need to review financial statements, track maintenance schedules, or retrieve meeting minutes, our digital platforms provide a seamless, user-friendly way to manage Body Corporate documents—anytime, anywhere.

This level of accessibility ensures that Committees stay organised, informed, and compliant without the hassle of manual record-keeping.
