Chris is a strata unicorn: he is not a strata lawyer, manager or caretaker. He was Queensland’s Commissioner for Body Corporate and Community Management for over 5 years. That is the only role of its type in the world. Chris is also an owner in one strata scheme, and a tenant in another. As Director of Strata Solve, Chris focuses on communications and strategic advice, rather than legal action, to solving strata problems. Strata Solve works with owners, committees, strata managers and caretakers to tailor practical solutions to stressful strata situations. Chris holds an Honours degree in Communications and is a nationally accredited mediator. Chris is a regular contributor to LookUpStrata. You can take a look at Chris's articles here.
