SMART STRATA SEMINAR – SUNSHINE COAST NEXT WEEK!

Join Us for the Sunshine Coast Smart Strata Seminar – Thursday, 8th May

Following a successful Brisbane seminar launch, the Smart Strata Community Education Seminar Series is heading to the Sunshine Coast next week. If you’re a committee member, lot owner, building manager, or industry stakeholder, this is your opportunity to access expert guidance on the issues that matter most to strata communities—right in your region.

Held at Maroochy RSL on Thursday, 8th May 2025, this free event will explore essential topics under the theme: Committee Membership and By-law Lifecycles. With registrations still open, now is the time to secure your seat for this highly anticipated Sunshine Coast seminar.

Seminar Focus: Committee Roles and By-law Lifecycles Best Practice

This session will help attendees understand the full lifecycle of committee involvement—from nomination and election through to resignation or termination. We’ll explore what’s expected from elected members, common pain points, and how to improve internal collaboration.

The second half of the session takes a deep dive into the application and enforcement of by-laws enforcement. These rules are critical to maintaining liveable and compliant communities, but confusion and conflict often surround them. Our panel of experts will clarify stakeholder responsibilities, enforcement processes, and how to handle disputes effectively.

Whether you’re new to strata or have years of experience, the Sunshine Coast seminar will offer practical, real-world knowledge to improve your role in community living.

Expert Panel: Trusted Strata Voices

• Grant Mifsud – Partner, Archers the Strata Professionals
• Mario Esera – Partner, HWL Ebsworth Lawyers

Their combined experience spans body corporate governance, by-law enforcement, disputes, and legislative reform—making them the ideal voices to guide these important discussions.
