SUMMARY:Sydney - Protecting Property: Strata Asset Management Risks and Opportunities
DESCRIPTION:Property is one of the most valuable and complex asset classes\, yet residential strata continues to face major risks from defects\, poor information handover and weak governance. This event will explore how fragmented practices have left property owners and managers exposed\, with issues such as missing design records\, incomplete asset registers\, warranty disputes\, and inadequate lifecycle planning driving up costs and eroding confidence in the market. By referencing the Building Manual Guideline\, the discussion will show how better systems\, accountability\, and transparency can protect property value while reducing financial and safety risks. \nThe program will highlight the case for change\, shifting strata property asset management from reactive maintenance to proactive\, data-driven practices. This includes upskilling strata managers and owners’ corporations\, embedding robust governance structures\, and adopting tools such as digital records\, lifecycle costing\, and transparent levy planning. Key themes include liability management\, procurement responses\, ownership and co-funding models\, and the legal ramifications of poor documentation. Central to the discussion is how build quality achieved at the design\, approval\, and construction stages can be effectively translated into long-term occupancy asset management\, ensuring properties remain safe\, durable\, and financially sustainable throughout their lifecycle. \nBuilding on industry milestones such as the Shergold Weir Building Confidence Report (2018)\, the NSW Government’s response (2019)\, the Strata Community Association’s Building Manual Guideline (2020)\, and Engineers Australia’s 2023 report on managing building defects\, the event will emphasise that while property owners face genuine risks — from systemic defects and water ingress to unexpected financial shocks — there are also significant opportunities. Smarter property and strata asset management not only protects buyers and owners from risk but also enables innovation in sustainability\, transparency\, and long-term value creation. By addressing “buyer beware” challenges head-on\, the sector can move towards stronger\, safer\, and more resilient communities that align with both local and global best practices. \nClick here to register\n  \n\n		\n			\n				\n			\n			\n		 \n		\n			James Sherrard is the NSW Building Commissioner.
