Last month, the Bannermans team headed to the greens for an afternoon of barefoot bowls, a drink or two, and plenty of laughs!

A great chance to step away from the desks, enjoy some friendly competition and spend time together outside the office.

IT’S FINALLY HERE!

Strata committee training is now mandatory in NSW.

From today, newly appointed and returning strata committee members are required to complete NSW Fair Trading's mandatory online training within 3 months of appointment. Failure to complete the training within the required timeframe will result in their position on the committee being automatically vacated.

The training is free, completed through Strata Hub and covers key topics including governance duties, repairs and maintenance and decision-making.

Importantly, no motion or minute is required from the owners corporation to authorise the undertaking of the training. However, we have updated our FAGM and AGM notice templates for Compliance Pack members to include an explanatory note with the relevant motion.

A few snapshots from last week’s SCA NSW 2026 Convention! 📸

From sharing plenty of laughs (and scoops!) with Messina, to our actors performing a very entertaining “FAGM” for David and Wade’s presentation, and celebrating at the awards night, it was a fantastic couple of days for everyone involved.

It was great to catch up with industry peers, share insights, have a few laughs and enjoy everything the convention had to offer.

Until next year!

Today we celebrate Matthew Jenkins 20-year anniversary at Bannermans!

Matt’s dedication to strata and his team is second to none. On top of that, he’s an absolute legend of a bloke — and even more hilarious after a few beers!

We celebrated with a few champagnes, and honestly, nobody deserves it more. Two decades working alongside your brother-in-law definitely deserves a celebration! 🥂

Cheers, Matt! Here’s to many more!

The upcoming strata reforms will reshape levy recovery processes, starting with a new reminder notice deadline that schemes will need to follow closely. Reminder notices will need to be issued between 7 and 10 days after the levy contribution becomes due, and they must include detailed information about the contribution, interest, payment methods and more.

This change will affect how strata managers manage their levy recovery workflows and overdue levy contributions.

You can learn more about the changes by reading the article below:
