The Strata Roll

Owners Corporations are required to prepare and maintain a Strata Roll from the date of registration of the strata plan. The responsibility for the initial preparation of the Strata Roll lies with the original owner and must be kept mechanically, electronically or by other means.

At The Strata Agency, our Managers can offer advice about keeping the Strata Roll accurate and we’re also required to keep a copy of the role on our files.

The main purpose of the strata roll is to provide readily accessible information about the strata scheme: it’s the definitive source of information about the building.  Section 98 of the Strata Schemes Management Act 1996 sets out what must be recorded in the strata roll. The Strata Schemes Management Act states:

1. There must be recorded in the strata roll in relation to a particular lot:
1. The owner's name and an Australian address for service of notices or the name of the owners agent appointed in accordance with Part 3 of Chapter 4 and the agent’s Australian address for service of notices, and
2. information provided under section 118 or obtained from the Register in connection with the lot, and
3. information provided under section 119.
2. There must be recorded in the strata roll in relation to the common property and the strata scheme in general the following:
1. the strata plan number and the address of the strata scheme building,
2. the names of the original owner and any strata managing agent of the owners corporation and their Australian addresses for service of notices,
3. the total unit entitlement of the scheme and the unit entitlement of each lot,
4. particulars of insurance taken out by the owners corporation, including the following:
• the name of the insurance company
• the number of the insurance policy
• the nature of the risk insured
• the amount of the insurance
• the due date for payment of the premium
• the date on which the premium was last paid
5. the by-laws for the time being in force for the strata scheme.
The strata roll is generally updated based on notices served on the Owners Corporation under Section 118 and Section 119 of the Strata Schemes Management Act 1996. The Owners Corporation may also rely on information contained in the Registrar at the Land and Property Information (NSW) (formerly the Land Titles Office).
