With extensive experience across neighbourhoods, precincts, and community associations, Netstrata delivers tailored community and building management solutions that uphold governance standards and enhance liveability. From large-scale urban projects in Sydney’s metropolitan area to acreages in the Hunter Valley and emerging growth hubs in Illawarra, we provide expertise to diverse communities.
Netstrata played an active role in shaping community management regulations, consulting with the NSW Government on the Community Land Management Act 2021—marking the first major reform in two decades. By meticulously understanding each community management corporation’s unique management statement, we ensure compliance with governance requirements while fostering well-maintained, thriving communities.
We work closely with community management associates, strata managers, and industry professionals to maintain common areas, educate residents on community and strata management, and streamline administrative processes.
See below some Community Management case studies.
Wentworth Point Marinas stands as a prime example of a community management corporation transforming an isolated industrial site into a thriving master-planned community. Home to over 20,000 residents, this waterfront development demonstrates best practices in urban renewal and community infrastructure planning.
Covering 11 hectares and delivered across seven stages, Wentworth Point Marinas successfully integrates high-density residential apartments, public spaces, and essential services to create a self-sufficient, vibrant neighbourhood.
Incorporating residential apartments, a ‘super neighbourhood’ shopping centre, purpose-built medical facilities and a community centre and library, Wentworth Point Marina sets a new benchmark for urban renewal, drawing on best practice place-making to deliver a range of community infrastructure, with easy access to public transport.
A model of integrated community planning, East Quarter delivers a connected, accessible precinct in the heart of Hurstville. Designed to promote walkability and public engagement, the development introduces new urban connections between Hurstville Town Centre and Allawah Railway Station.
This master-planned community features three residential towers, a public plaza, retail spaces including a full-line Woolworths, and a multi-level basement for convenience. With over 2,000+ apartments planned by completion, East Quarter offers a blend of residential, commercial, and green spaces, enhancing liveability within the greater Hurstville community.
Botanica, Lidcombe, is a heritage-sensitive master-planned community developed on the former Lidcombe Hospital site. Balancing heritage conservation with modern development, this award-winning precinct seamlessly integrates adaptive reuse with contemporary residential planning.
Now home to 750 dwellings across 44 hectares, Botanica preserves key historical features, including 7 hectares of parklands, cycleways, and heritage-listed buildings. These elements create a unique living environment that respects the site’s historical significance while supporting modern community engagement.
Botanica is now a 750-dwelling residential subdivision, covering 44 ha of the former hospital site. Within that, a core heritage precinct of 7 ha containing a range of significant buildings and spaces has been adaptively reused for residential, commercial, and community uses, forming the heart of the new suburb.
As well as its many historic buildings, the site’s roads, paths, and circulation spaces were identified in the conservation management plan as important parts of the place’s history. As a result, they have been retained in the development and form some 7 ha of parklands, cycleways, and walks, which are now valued assets.
How does community association differ from community strata management?
Community associations are strata-title subdivisions that own common areas for shared use by their members. Strata management, on the other hand, involves managing strata communal areas according to bylaws.
What are the benefits of strata management?
Strata management is necessary to ensure that strata properties remain efficient and effective. A strata manager can advise on proper maintenance of strata communal areas, assist with dispute resolution, and ensure that bylaws are followed.
What are the duties of strata managers?
Strata managers oversee the day-to-day administration and management of strata properties. This includes overseeing meetings, collecting levies, dealing with disputes, arranging strata maintenance, and more.
How can strata management benefit my property?
With strata management, you can ensure that your communal property is well-maintained, secure, and safe. It also helps reduce disputes, improve communication between strata members, and ensure that funds are managed responsibly.
Can you self-manage strata properties?
Yes, you can self-manage strata properties. However, Netstrata recommends using a strata management service for a more professional and efficient living experience.
Who is in charge of making decisions regarding a strata property?
A strata committee is in overall charge of making decisions regarding strata properties. The strata committee typically consists of strata members voted in by the owners. The strata manager may also be involved in decision-making and act as an advisor to the committee.
How does a corporation raise its funds?
The strata corporation raises its funds mainly through strata levies (monthly fees from owners) and strata fines. Strata levies fund strata repairs and maintenance, while strata fines are imposed on members who have violated the bylaws.
What are levies and sinking funds?
Strata levies are monthly fees that members pay to the corporation. These funds are used to cover strata maintenance and repairs. The strata corporation may also create a sinking fund, a reserve for future strata expenses.
What is strata insurance?
Strata Insurance is a form of insurance that covers strata properties from losses due to natural disasters, such as floods and fires. It also covers strata members from any personal liabilities due to strata property damage. At Netstrata, we assist in the process of strata insurance.
What are bylaws?
Bylaws are rules and regulations that strata members must abide by. These include restrictions on pets, noise levels, parking, renovations, etc.
What other strata services do you offer?
At Netstrata, we provide strata management, insurance assistance, strata reports, records, meetings/minutes, dispute resolution services, and more.
Successful community management requires expertise, collaboration, and a deep understanding of each association’s governance needs. Netstrata’s community management associates bring industry-leading knowledge and hands-on experience to ensure smooth operations, transparent governance, and well-maintained common areas.
Whether managing strata schemes, precincts, or community associations, our team ensures compliance with the Strata Schemes Management Act (SSMA), helping residents and owners navigate regulations, budgets, and long-term planning effectively.
