Everyone in the building, told once.

Give your building one place to find out what is happening, and stop running it through the lift lobby and a group chat.

Where is your building?

The job is the same everywhere. The rules, the words and the money are not. Pick your state or territory and we will show you the version that actually applies.

New South Wales

NSW

Strata Schemes Management Act 2015

New South Wales gives you a specific reason to get this right: the 2025 reforms and the Strata Hub between them expect an owners corporation to be able to show how it communicates with...

Victoria

VIC

Owners Corporations Act 2006

Victorian owners corporations have a register and a set of communication obligations that sit in the Act, and a noticeboard does none of them — but it solves the practical problem those...

Queensland

QLD

Body Corporate and Community Management Act 1997

Queensland's body corporate legislation is precise about how notices are given and what the body corporate roll must hold, and a noticeboard changes none of that. What it changes is the...

Western Australia

WA

Strata Titles Act 1985

Western Australia requires notice of every general meeting to owners and first mortgagees, and that obligation is untouched by anything posted on a board. But WA's high quorum threshold...

South Australia

SA

Strata Titles Act 1988 and Community Titles Act 1996

South Australia leaves more of the running of a scheme to the corporation than most states, and communication is one of the things it leaves alone entirely. There is no statutory...

Tasmania

TAS

Strata Titles Act 1998

ACT

Unit Titles (Management) Act 2011

Unit Titles Act 1975 and Unit Titles Schemes Act 2009

In the Northern Territory a noticeboard does something it does nowhere else on this list: it carries safety information. Cyclone season imposes obligations on residents — clearing...

Why a building needs one place

Nearly every complaint a committee gets about communication is the same complaint: I did not know. Not disagreement — absence. A single place people trust fixes most of it.

Tenants live here too
In many buildings most residents are not owners. They are affected by the water shutdown, the scaffolding and the lift outage, and they are almost never on the owners' mailing list.
It ends the 'nobody told me' argument
Something posted where everyone can see it, with a date on it, is a different conversation from something somebody remembers mentioning.
The committee stops repeating itself
Answering the same question eleven times is the most common reason committee members burn out and resign.
It builds the thing a building actually runs on
Buildings that communicate well have easier meetings, better attendance and fewer disputes. That is not sentiment — it is the difference between neighbours and strangers sharing a roof.
