The guide is an easy-to-use reference point and a must-read for anyone looking to own or live in strata for the first time.
You can download the guide here – Strata Living Guide
The guide covers topics including:
- The basics of strata

A complementary resource to the Strata Living Guide is SCA (NSW)’s ‘Who’s Responsible Guide’, a guide to common property in strata. Which is available for download here – SCA (NSW) Who’s Responsible guide.
The Guide provides a comprehensive list of items found within a building that could generally be considered common property. It aims to give some guidance on who usually would be responsible for giving that item attention.
