Industrial strata management involves the oversight of shared property in business parks, warehouses and factory units. With stringent regulations and high-traffic environments, professional strata management is critical to maintaining compliance, reducing risks and protecting the value of industrial assets.

What is Industrial Strata?

Industrial strata management means coordinating the day-to-day operations of shared industrial facilities, factories, warehouses and multi-unit business parks,
while ensuring long-term compliance with NSW legislation.

Unlike residential schemes, industrial strata sites face unique challenges: higher usage loads, strict safety regulations and shared infrastructure used by diverse
business types. A specialised management approach helps committees stay on top of inspections, fire safety standards, insurance and more, while keeping tenants informed and operations running smoothly.

A well-planned and executed industrial strata preserves asset value, minimises business disruption and prevents costly compliance failures.

Common Challenges in Industrial Strata

Industrial strata schemes must navigate a unique set of hurdles:

  • Navigating changing compliance and zoning laws
  • Managing heavy-duty infrastructure like loading bays, forklifts and waste systems
  • Containing rising energy and maintenance costs
  • Mediating disputes between tenants with overlapping operating hours
  • Coordinating major works with minimal operational disruption.

These hurdles associated with shared industrial facilities reinforce the importance of effective maintenance planning and strata management. With rising pressures on compliance, safety and asset longevity, tailored solutions for industrial strata complexes are more critical than ever.

Key benefits of choosing Netstrata

Fewer Unplanned Shutdowns

Planned inspections and early issue detection help avoid sudden outages or safety closures. By staying ahead of wear and tear in high-traffic areas like loading bays, driveways and shared plant rooms, we help keep businesses running without disruption to operations or tenant access.

Stronger Regulatory Compliance

Our team stays current with NSW legislation, protecting schemes from breaches and fines. In NSW, on-the-spot fines for corporations can reach $30,000 for a first offence and $45,000 for repeat breaches, while individuals may face penalties of $15,000 to $22,500, depending on the severity and frequency of the violation.

Lower Operating Costs

We streamline maintenance schedules and utility management to reduce overheads. Through bulk service agreements, energy-efficient recommendations and smarter contractor coordination, Netstrata helps committees make informed financial decisions without cutting corners on safety or compliance.

Higher Property Value

Well-managed strata properties retain long-term investment appeal and tenant demand. Clean, compliant and professionally maintained sites not only attract high-quality
tenants but also support higher lease rates and sustained capital growth across the lifetime of the scheme.
