Financial matters are part of everyday life in a strata community. Levies must be raised, budgets approved, maintenance planned, and financial reports reviewed. These processes are unavoidable in shared ownership and directly affect property condition, affordability, and long-term value. Legal obligations, governance rules, and long-term planning add layers that do not exist in individual home ownership.This session will help owners and committee members see how the pieces fit together, rather than feeling overwhelmed by numbers, reports or terminology.
