Free Guides for Queensland Body Corporate Committees and Lot Owners
Running or living in a Body Corporate scheme means navigating legislation, finances, committee governance and building maintenance — often all at once, and often without anyone explaining how it actually works. As part of the SSKB Strata Series — alongside our educational events and webinars — we’ve put together four free guides covering the areas Queensland Committees and Lot Owners ask us about most.
Each guide below covers a different part of running a well-managed scheme. Read the summary, then click through to download the one that’s relevant to you — or all four, if you’re building a complete picture.
Running a Queensland Body Corporate means answering to more legislation than most Committees realise at once — workplace health and safety, fire safety, the Body Corporate and Community Management Act, tax law, and insurance requirements. This guide breaks down what’s actually required under each area, including SSKB’s own compliance checklists and decision flowcharts to help a Committee work through their specific building’s obligations with confidence.
What’s inside
Every Queensland Body Corporate is run by an elected Committee — but what it can and can’t decide, how members are elected, and what happens when something goes wrong isn’t always obvious. This guide walks through Committee structure, authority, elections and meeting procedure in plain English, including SSKB’s full breakdown of how a Committee Meeting runs from start to finish.
What’s inside
Good building management isn’t just about following the rules — it’s about having a clear vision for the property and the systems to back it up. Unlike SSKB’s other guides, this one steps back from legislation to cover the practical side of managing a shared building well: understanding exactly what you own, defining what “good condition” actually means, funding maintenance properly, and building a system your team can follow consistently.
What’s inside
Levies going up and nobody explaining why? This guide translates Body Corporate financial management into plain English — how contributions and budgets are set, what your financial statements actually mean, how a Sinking Fund Forecast protects against a surprise special levy, and what your Body Corporate is required to insure.
