Is Fewster Strata & Community Management a registered strata manager in South Australia?

SA does not have a dedicated strata manager licensing register, but managers must hold CBS registration under the Land Agents Act 1994 (as a land agent or property manager). Registrations are searchable via CBS SA at cbs.sa.gov.au. All managers are subject to the Community Titles Act 1996. Fewster Strata & Community Management appears in the SCA SA directory and/or verified Google Business data.

How can our committee change strata managers in SA?

Under the Community Titles Act 1996, the community corporation can terminate the manager's contract subject to its terms (typically 30–90 days notice). The community corporation passes a resolution at a general meeting to appoint a new manager. Get competing proposals before your next AGM so the committee can vote on both termination and replacement at the same meeting.

What legislation governs strata in SA?

The primary legislation is the Community Titles Act 1996, which governs community corporations formed since 1996. Older community title schemes are governed by the Strata Titles Act 1988. In both cases, strata managers must hold CBS registration under the Land Agents Act 1994. SACAT (South Australian Civil and Administrative Tribunal) handles community corporation disputes. CBS SA oversees compliance.

Where does this data come from?

Contact details and ratings come from each business's public Google listing, matched against manager names from the SCA SA directory and Google Maps data. Google review data is independently collected — not self-reported. Website enrichment (year established, specialisms, manager model) is sourced from the manager's public website.
