StratamanHello - I'm Strataman

I'm here to help ordinary folks gain a better understanding of what strata is all about.  Strata is a very complex and challenging topic.  It's filled with lots of legal terminology and jargon and even lawyers, at times, have difficulty interpreting the guidelines, legislation and by-laws associated with it.  What chance then does the average person in the street have of understanding it all?

This website has been specifically created to provide a simple guide for people who are either owners or tenants of strata units, for anyone considering investing in a strata complex, for all of you out there who are currently working IN this industry or for those who would simply like to learn more about the subject.  And it's provided to you FREE OF CHARGE.

Of course, every situation is different and strata can be a veritable minefield of legal complexities.  Even within Australia the laws vary from state to state and so, for the time being, I'll be focusing on New South Wales legislation.  Those of you residing in the other states will need to double-check with your local authorities before using any of the information on this site.  Hopefully I'll be providing you non-nsw folk with some links and other reference sources in the not too distant future.  I'll keep you posted on my progress.

Please bare in mind that any information provided by this website is intended as a general guide only.  It should never be substituted for professional legal advice, which should always be obtained before taking any action.  The owners and creators of this website will not be held responsible for any actions or decisions made from information supplied on this site.

If you have been charged with looking after a strata plan, you would do well to seek the advice of a licensed strata management professional.  However, there IS a Do-It-Yourself Strata Kit available for small-to-medium complexes for those of you that want to 'go it alone'.

The field of strata is constantly changing so, if you would like to receive regular updates on changes to the law and other issues relating to strata generally, register to receive your copy of my Strataman News.  It'll be emailed to you absolutely FREE.  Should you decide, for any reason, you don't want to receive it anymore you may simply unsubscribe.  There'll never be any obligation to continue your free subscription.

Finally, I hope you enjoy the Strataman website and find its contents helpful.  I'll be continually updating it with additional and new information so, put this webpage in your "favourites" and come back often.

Tell your friends about this website and please give me your feedback.  I would welcome any ideas from you as to how I might improve this site to make it more useful to you.

Meanwhile, thanks for calling by and good luck with your strata plan!

Bye for now,
