Body corporate & strata · Community titles schemes

Termite damage is generally excluded. Your history isn't.

Termite damage is generally excluded from strata insurance. Body corporate inspection history is how the committee shows it took reasonable steps, filed by building, ready for owners and the AGM.

What we won't tell you

Plain facts, no scare tactics.

  • "Bodies corporate must have annual termite inspections." There's no legislated requirement.
  • "Insurance covers termite damage if you have inspections." It's generally excluded regardless.
  • "The body corporate is responsible for pests in units." Not as a rule. It depends on the plan type, and on lot versus common property.
  • "Residents must legally be given X days' notice." We found no fixed period for pest treatment.

Body corporate & strata questions

Is this for the committee or the body corporate manager?

Both. The manager keeps the folder; the committee gets the AGM summary; owners' record requests are answered from the same place.

Can records be split by building and by lot?

Yes. Each building has its own folder, with common property and lots kept apart.

Can the caretaker or building manager use the signs?

Anyone can. Bin rooms, car parks and pool areas each get a sign; residents scan it, tap what they saw, and it goes to the log and your pest controller.

Is "strata" the same as body corporate in Queensland?

Yes. Queensland law says body corporate and community titles scheme; "strata" is the everyday word.

What does it cost?

The kit is free. Portal and servicing plans: [PRICE].
