SA Body Corporate

South Australia (SA) – Body Corporate

South Australia is Australia's 'Festival State' and is known as the city of churches. South Australia has approximately 22,500 strata schemes / community title properties on title representing approximately 131,500 units. The state capital, Adelaide, is known as the city of churches and offers a great geographically central location to Australian cities.

Body Corporate Managers manage the common property in the body corporate with the help of a Management Committee. When buying and selling property, the vendor disclosure document for the Strata Corporation is the Section 7 of the Vendor's Statement, Section 41 of the Strata Titles Act, and Section 139 of the Community Titles Act.

According to the ‘Australasian Strata Insights Report 2020’ conducted by the UNSW, about 4% of South Australia’s population live in apartments. 54% of apartment residents in South Australia were born outside of Australia, which is less than the national statistic of 57%.
