The Team at Stratarama would like to send a Thank you to all the Property Managers and their offices who took the time out of their busy days to join us for our Inaugural Property Manager Q & A. Over 40 registrants acknowledged the value in demystifying strata, opening dialogue between PM & SM and sharing knowledge.
The two hour session examined many strata issues and details that could provide a little clarity for our Property Management associates whilst giving opportunity to discuss and ask real time questions on matters facing these Managers currently.
The session delved into:
and a “find the Visitor Parking” search and find enjoyed by all!
A genuine Thank you to all who attended for being so engaging. The positive feedback received all ready from so many attendees has been greatly appreciated as we look towards another event in 2027.
Over the next 12 months we look forward to receiving your queries and building another engaging session. Whilst we had a few that needed to rush out towards the end of our time together to run open inspections, we even received a request that the next one be over 3 hours long (lets see if the team can talk that long!).
Thank you also to the Glenelg football club #Glenelgfc for allowing us to use the Presidents room at Stratarama stadium to host the event.
At Stratarama, transparency has always been one of our core values. In 2024, we became the only business in South Australia to achieve SCA’s Strata Management Practice Standard (SMPS) Certification—something we’re incredibly proud of. We invest heavily in the professional development of our team through both SCA programs and our own internal training, and we believe that sharing some of this knowledge is part of our responsibility to the broader industry.
The intention behind this event wasn’t to teach Property Managers how to “do strata,” nor to position ourselves as lecturers. Even with formal training, strata management is something that only truly makes sense once you’re in the role day‑to‑day. Instead, our aim is simple: to remove some of the unknowns. Just as we’ve done through our explainer videos on our socials, our involvement in first‑home‑buyer seminars, and our speaking engagements with the conveyancing industry, we want to offer & build clarity.
When we understand the context behind each other’s processes, the frustrations that arise between PM’s and SM’s can ease significantly
By offering insight into how strata and community titles operate behind the scenes, we hope to make life easier not only for ourselves, but for Property Managers, Real Estate Agents, Conveyancers, and most importantly; our shared clients. Whether someone is a first‑time strata owner or a long‑standing committee member, the more we all understand, the more effectively we can collaborate, respect each other’s roles, and deliver better outcomes together.
Stratarama is pleased to announce our CEO; Tony Johnson FSCM was last week awarded the SCA AUSTRALASIA 2024-25 Strata Community Excellence award for Senior Community Manager.
Tony received this award in front of over 400 peers and delegates at the Australasian conference in Hobart Tasmania. Finalists from ACT, NSW, NZ, QLD, VIC & WA contested this category.
A finalist at an Australasian level for this category twice prior (and Strata Manager 3 times previously), Tony was recognised with the 24/25 award to the delight of several Stratarama Team Members in the audience and to the congratulations of the entire team at home in Adelaide.
Lionel Colaco was also recognised as a Finalist in the category of Strata Community Manager of the year 24/25 following his South Australian win in this category in 2024. Whilst Lionel didn’t come home with the award this year, its important to mention how difficult it is for the judges to determine a winner, and to be in such a field from right around Australasia is such a huge credit to him and the organisation. We are all so very proud of Lionels contributions to the team and our clients.
Strata Community Association (SCA) developed a Strata Management Practice Standard (SMPS), which Strata Management businesses who are SCA members are able to submit to in order to highlight their professional standing in the strata and community management industry.
A voluntary practice standard, the SMPS is for strata community management businesses, in relation to their own internal procedures as well as contractual relationships with strata communities.
Through an independent audited process, the SMPS recognises businesses that have developed and adhered to their documented internal processes. These are implemented to ensure best practice with regards to trying to improve client satisfaction and also to ensure proper internal business processes.
At the writing of this, only 15 Strata and Community Companies in Australia have committed to and subjected their business to the audit process and become Certified SMPS Strata management businesses.
Stratarama are very pleased to be a leader in this area, becoming the first (and to date, only) SMPS Certified Strata and Community Management Business servicing South Australian Strata and community titled properties.
We believe that along with maintaining our internal systems, processes and guides, by choosing to have these audited by third party auditors, as arranged by the Strata Community Association (SCA), we are able to provide confidence to our clients and those who may be seeking a change in management. Submitting to meet this certification highlights our commitment to be transparent and ethical in all our dealings both with our clients and also our team.
SMPS Certification we believe offers:
In 2023, Stratarama were also the first South Australian Business to take the Respect Pledge. The SMPS certification and the commitment to the SCA respect pledge are just some ways in which Stratarama aim to show our commitment to clients and delivering upon our standards.
Stratarama have take the Strata Community Association (SCA) Respect Pledge and joined SCA in advocating for respectful, harmonious, community living.
We feel that this pledge represents the best of our intentions towards each other, our Clients and Suppliers. We believe that participants in a strata corporation deserve to be treated with these ideals always in mind. We encourage all with whom we interact to work together with this same respect and harmony.
