How can our council change strata managers in WA?

Under the Strata Titles Act 1985, the strata company council can terminate the manager's contract subject to its terms (typically 30–90 days notice). The strata company passes a resolution at a general meeting to appoint a new manager. Get competing proposals before your next AGM so the council can vote on both termination and replacement at the same meeting.

What legislation governs strata in WA?

The Strata Titles Act 1985 is the primary legislation, as significantly amended by the Strata Titles Amendment Act 2018 (commenced 1 May 2020). The 2020 reforms introduced community titles for layered developments, modernised by-laws and council governance, and updated scheme termination rules. The State Administrative Tribunal (SAT) handles strata disputes in WA. Consumer Protection WA oversees compliance.
