A.C.T Strata Management Services

A.C.T. Strata Management Services provides Management Services for Unit Complexes under the governing rules of the Unit Titles (Management) Act 2011. Our Body Corporate Managers work closely with the Executive Committee of your complex to manage the daily requirements of the complex and ensure all matters are attended to.

Dear valued clients

As an ongoing result of (COVID-19), ACT SMS & Whittles is continually monitoring the situation and our focus is the health, safety and wellbeing of our clients and employees and the role we can play to prevent the further spread of the virus.

Our business has transitioned to new procedures for providing services to you. We recognise some services may be impacted due to the latest Government health advice, however, we remain open and accessible to assist where we can.

Where many of our services are based around residential property, additional consideration must be given to access, trades work, wet areas and people currently in isolation.

The focus remains clearly on you and we have undertaken the following changes;

  • Face to face meetings will no longer be held. Owners are requested to return their proxy form and voting instructions or dial in via teleconference
  • All Whittles offices are restricted to Staff only
  • We continue to identify with our Maintenance companies their ability to supply services

ACT SMS & Whittles will continue to monitor conditions daily and adjust our business operations as needed in the interest of our clients and employees in accordance with the advice of health authorities.

Please do not hesitate to contact us if we can assist in some way.

Yours sincerely,

Matthew Amber

Managing Director

Body Corporate Living
Living in a Body Corporate is different to living in a stand alone house. There are a number of Rules, Regulations and Issues which define what a Unit Owner can and can’t do, part of that involves knowing the difference between the two types of Body Corporates, Class A and Class B Complexes and what area an owner is responsible for.

Class A: These units are generally found within Multi Storey Buildings. In these complexes an owner is responsible for anything within half the thickness of the walls, floor and ceilings of their unit.

Class B: These units are generally individual townhouses. Within these complexes an owner is responsible for anything within their Unit Entitlements/Boundaries.

Lawful operation
To assist with the successful management of any concerns regarding to living in these complexes, A.C.T Strata Management Services operates under the guidelines of the following legislation:

  • The Unit Titles Act 2001
  • The Unit Titles (Management) Act 2011
