Establishing Your Strata Company the Right Way
When your strata plan registers at Landgate, the clock starts ticking. Under the Strata Titles Act 1985 (WA), you have just three months to properly establish your strata company through an Inaugural General Meeting. This is a statutory requirement that falls squarely on the original proprietor's shoulders.
At Perth Strata Co., we handle the entire establishment process for you, ensuring your scheme launches with a solid legal foundation and full compliance from day one.

What Happens If You Don't Establish Your Strata Scheme Properly?
The Inaugural General Meeting (IGM) is what turns a registered strata plan into a functioning strata company. It must be convened within three months and is essential for putting the scheme’s governance, insurance, by-laws and financial arrangements in place.
If the IGM is not handled properly, the strata company may struggle to operate lawfully. Insurance may be affected, bylaws may lack proper authority, and the original proprietor may remain exposed to compliance risks. These issues can also create uncertainty for buyers and future lot owners.
DIY establishment can easily lead to invalid meetings, incorrect documentation and avoidable compliance problems. Getting the IGM right from the start protects the original proprietor, supports a smoother handover, and gives the strata company a clear foundation to operate properly.
