Get things done — Quarter

In New Zealand? Visit quarter.nz for body corporates.

Every building has a list. Here is how to finish it.

Solar on the roof. Chargers in the car park. An AGM that reaches quorum. A maintenance plan that is worth the paper. These are the jobs that sit on a committee's list for years — not because they are hard, but because the rules are different in every state, the grants keep moving, and nobody has the time to work out where to start.

So we wrote it down. One guide per job, per place, against the law that applies to you.

Written for where you are.

A Queensland committee and a Western Australian one answer to different Acts, use different words for the same body, and have different money available to them. Generic advice is how buildings get it wrong. Every guide here names the legislation, the regulator and the grants that apply to you.

New South Wales

Strata Schemes Management Act 2015

The largest strata market in Australia, and the one moving fastest — the 2025 reforms and the standard-form capital works plan from 1 April 2026 both raise the bar on what a committee is expected to be able to show.

Victoria

Owners Corporations Act 2006

Five tiers of owners corporation, each with its own obligations — which is why the first question in Victoria is always which tier you are in, and the second is what that tier actually requires of you.

Queensland

Body Corporate and Community Management Act 1997

The Act names self-management as a normal way to run a scheme rather than an exception to one, and the regulation module you are registered under decides most of the detail.

Western Australia

Strata Titles Act 1985

The 2020 reforms brought in the ten-year maintenance plan for larger schemes, and WA is the one state where the body is a company and the committee is a council.

South Australia

Strata Titles Act 1988 and Community Titles Act 1996

Two Acts run side by side depending on when and how your building was subdivided, and South Australia leaves more to the corporation itself than most states do.

Tasmania

Strata Titles Act 1998

Mostly small schemes, mostly already running themselves, and a statute that assumes owners will do the work rather than pay somebody else to.

Australian Capital Territory

Unit Titles (Management) Act 2011

The sinking fund plan is written into the Act itself rather than left to a code of practice, so an ACT executive committee has a clearer statutory target to hit than most.

Northern Territory

Unit Titles Act 1975 and Unit Titles Schemes Act 2009

Which of the two Acts governs your scheme depends on how it was created, and the Territory's climate makes the maintenance plan the document that matters most.

The Quarter difference that gets it done.

These jobs rarely stall on disagreement. They stall on the work of getting to a decision — the notice, the quotes, the motion, the vote, the minutes, the follow-up — which falls on volunteers who already have jobs. Quarter carries that part, so a committee spends its time deciding rather than administering.

Meetings that actually happen
Notices on the statutory clock, agendas built from your open items, votes recorded live and minutes drafted from the meeting.
Decisions with a record
Every proposal, quote, vote and outcome in one place — so a decision made in March is still explicable in November.
Money you can see
Budgets, levies, arrears and spending, visible to every owner, so a levy increase is a conversation rather than an ambush.
Obligations with dates
Insurance renewals, the AGM window, the maintenance plan review — tracked as dates rather than remembered late.

Pick one thing. Finish it.
