Our strata services
WA’s strata law is designed to help strata titles schemes run effectively. All registered strata titled properties are subject to the Strata Titles Act 1985 (STA) which Landgate administers on behalf of the State Government.
Here’s how we can help you
- Registration of new, amended, merged, converted or terminated strata titles schemes.
- Registration of new by-laws, amendments, and repeals of scheme by-laws for strata titles schemes.(If your scheme has registered its own by-laws with Landgate and isn’t using the by-laws set out in the STA).
- Advice on the boundaries of individual strata titled lots and common property.
- Guidance on how to incorporate common property into individual lots and vice versa.
- Administration and lodgement of strata manager periodic returns.
- Providing access to the documentation and support resources to complete the strata services described above.
Visit our Strata transactions hub to learn more on these services.
We also offer general information resources to help scheme participants understand how strata operates in WA. Visit our Learn about strata page to find out more.
