Amity Strata Management is proud to share an inspiring success story from one of the communities we manage—a residential building located in the vibrant bayside suburb of Parkdale.
In 2021, the building was issued a Building Notice by the City Council due to concerns about combustible external cladding elements. The initial cost estimates to achieve compliance exceeded a staggering $1 million, raising significant concerns for owners about the financial and property value implications.
Over the next three years, the Parkdale Owners Corporation, supported by Amity Strata Management, embarked on a journey to find a compliant, safe, and financially viable solution. This process involved thorough assessments, engagement with council authorities, and a relentless focus on ensuring the best possible outcome for the community.
In January 2025, their efforts culminated in an outstanding result. The original Building Notice was officially cancelled and replaced with a Building Order for Minor Works, reducing the compliance cost to an estimated $30,000—a fraction of the initial projection.
This achievement not only represents a substantial financial saving but also ensures a safe solution for the building. The revised works fully address the council’s safety requirements, giving residents peace of mind that their homes are both secure and compliant.
"We’re thrilled to have worked alongside the Parkdale Owners Corporation to deliver such an incredible result," said Christian Numa, Director of Amity Strata Management. "Through perseverance, expert management, and a commitment to safety, we’ve protected the community’s financial interests while ensuring their homes remain safe and compliant."
One of the most significant benefits of this outcome is that no special levy will be required at this stage, relieving owners of a potential financial burden and preserving the value of their properties.
This success story is a testament to the resilience and collaboration of the Parkdale community and highlights the importance of expert strata management in navigating complex challenges.
At Amity Strata Management, we remain dedicated to helping our communities find safe, practical, and cost-effective solutions, no matter the challenges they face. For the Parkdale community, this journey is not only a financial victory but a celebration of safety and unity.
