Strata Plus Pty Ltd

Licence 1138572 745 schemes 33,888 lots 210 suburbs

Strata Plus Pty Ltd manages 745 strata schemes (33,888 lots), placing it in the top 20 managers in NSW. With an average of 45 lots per scheme, it specialises in larger buildings — more than double the state-wide average of 20 lots. It has a broad geographic spread across 210 suburbs, with Nelson Bay as its largest market (7%). AGM compliance stands at 88%, above the average of 70% across all managers. Its schemes have been involved in 15 tribunal and court decisions since 2021 (7 at NCAT, 6 in the Supreme Court) — though the absolute count is among the highest in NSW, the rate of 2.0 cases per 100 schemes is well below the average of 3.4, reflecting the size of the portfolio rather than unusual litigation exposure. Of these, 10 resulted in orders being made and 4 were dismissed.

The owners corporation brought proceedings seeking declaratory relief which was dismissed by the tribunal.

The tribunal reasoned that this would avoid duplication and the potential for inconsistent rulings.

An apartment owner sought to invalidate an easement and claim compensation related to a car space dispute.

An applicant sought orders related to the internal management of a co-operative, including convening meetings and appointing managers. The Tribunal determined it lacked jurisdiction to hear the matter because it concerned a co-operative, not a strata scheme as defined in the relevant legislation. Consequently, the proceedings were dismissed.
