As the costs associated with strata living continue to rise, many owner-occupiers in Australia are taking matters into their own hands. This shift comes amid a backdrop of low confidence in the commercialised strata system.
These owners are motivated by a desire to ensure the safety and maintenance of their buildings, with some expressing that without their involvement, the integrity of their properties could be at risk.
The movement reflects a growing trend among residents who feel that they can better manage their living environments than external management companies.
