Can you change strata company?

Yes. Most owners corporations and body corporate committees can change strata management companies by reviewing their current agreement, approving the change at a meeting and completing a formal handover. The exact process depends on your contract, notice period and state legislation. Bright & Duggan manages the transition end to end, reducing risk and disruption for your committee and residents.

When should you consider changing strata management?
