Residential Strata Management
Residential Strata Management, personally delivered.
Every residential scheme has its own character — its own rhythm, its own priorities, its own people. A six-lot townhouse complex in Mittagong has different needs from a forty-unit retirement village in Moss Vale, and both are worlds apart from a heritage conversion in Bowral.
That's why we don't do one-size-fits-all. Every community we manage receives a tailored approach built around your scheme's specific needs, your committee's priorities, and your owners' expectations. We take the time to understand your building before we start managing it — because good management starts with listening.
With Meridian, you're not a file number in a Sydney office. You're a community managed by someone who lives in the Southern Highlands, who answers when you call, and who is personally accountable for the outcome.
What your management includes
Comprehensive care, nothing hidden.
Our Residential management covers everything your scheme needs to run smoothly, stay compliant, and protect the value of your investment. There are no surprise charges for phone calls, no hidden disbursements, and no fine print.
Here's what you can expect.
Financial management
Your scheme's finances are the foundation of everything. We prepare transparent annual budgets, issue quarterly levy notices, manage arrears firmly but fairly, and maintain your administrative and capital works funds with full regulatory compliance. Every dollar is accounted for, and your committee receives clear financial reporting that actually makes sense — not a wall of accounting jargon.
We manage all trust account obligations in accordance with NSW legislation, coordinate your annual audit, and provide your committee with the financial clarity to make confident decisions about your building's future.
Meetings & governance
Whether it's your Annual General Meeting, an Extraordinary General Meeting, or a regular committee meeting, we handle every detail — from agenda preparation and notice distribution to facilitation and minute-taking. We ensure your meetings are properly constituted, compliant with the Act, and focused on the decisions that matter.
For committees navigating complex motions, by-law changes, or contentious issues, we provide clear guidance on your options, the process, and the likely outcomes — so you can make informed decisions with confidence.
Compliance & legislation
The Strata Schemes Management Act 2015 has been through significant reform in 2025 and 2026, with new requirements around initial maintenance schedules, 10-year capital works fund plans, developer obligations, and managing agent standards. Staying across these changes is a full-time job — and it's ours.
We ensure your scheme meets every legislative requirement, from proper record-keeping and by-law registration to common property maintenance obligations and insurance compliance. When the rules change, you'll hear about it from us before it becomes a problem.
Maintenance & asset care
We don't wait for things to break. Regular site inspections, proactive maintenance scheduling, and a reliable network of trusted local tradespeople mean your common property is cared for consistently — not reactively.
For larger works, we coordinate contractor quotes, manage tender processes, and oversee projects from start to completion. Your 10-year capital works fund plan is reviewed annually and prepared in accordance with the new standard form requirements, so your building is financially prepared for what's ahead.

Insurance coordination
We review your scheme's insurance annually, coordinate renewals with your broker, and ensure your common property, public liability, and building replacement cover are adequate and current. If a claim arises, we manage the process end to end — from initial lodgement through to resolution.
What sets us apart
The Meridian difference
Why committees across the Highlands
are choosing Meridian
We're not servicing the Southern Highlands from an office in Parramatta. We live and work in this community. When your building needs attention, we're twenty minutes away — not two hours.
When you engage Meridian, you know exactly who manages your building. There's no rotation of junior staff, no "your usual manager is on leave" email. Tracey manages your scheme personally, and that continuity builds the deep knowledge of your building that makes management genuinely effective.
We deliberately manage fewer schemes so that every community receives the time and attention it deserves. Your AGM preparation doesn't get rushed because there are six others that week. Your maintenance issue doesn't sit in a queue. Your call gets answered.
We identify issues before they become emergencies. Regular inspections, forward-looking maintenance planning, and consistent compliance monitoring mean your committee spends less time firefighting and more time making decisions that add value to your community.
Our fee structure is clear and comprehensive. You'll never receive an unexpected invoice for taking a phone call, printing a document, or responding to an owner enquiry. Management should be predictable — your fees are too.
The 2025–2026 strata reforms changed the landscape. From new standard-form maintenance schedules to enhanced capital works fund planning requirements, we ensure your scheme isn't just compliant — it's ahead of the curve.
Is your community getting the management it deserves?
We offer a free, no-obligation strata health check for any residential scheme in the Southern Highlands. We'll review your financials, your compliance status, and your maintenance planning — and give you an honest assessment of where your community stands.
No sales pitch. No pressure. Just clarity.
