VIC: Building Better Strata Committees

At last week’s LookUpStrata webinar, Alex McCormick (SOCM) unpacked the reality of committee life in Victoria — from managing finances and property upkeep to handling interpersonal dynamics and growing expectations from neighbours.

"LookUpStrata should be compulsory reading for every member of a Body Corporate Committee. It provides the most understandable answers to all the common (and uncommon) questions that vex Body Corporates everywhere. Too often Committee members do not understand what Body Corporates are legally able to do and not do. LookUpStrata helps educate everybody living in a Body Corporate environment for free." John, Lot Owner

"It's the best and most professional body corporate information source a strata manager could have! Thanks to the whole team!" MQ, Strata Manager
