What Is Strata Cleaning in NSW?
Strata cleaning refers to the professional cleaning and maintenance of common property in a strata-titled building or complex. In New South Wales, strata schemes are governed by the Strata Schemes Management Act 2015 (NSW), which places obligations on the owners corporation (body corporate) to maintain common property in a clean, safe and habitable condition.
Common property typically includes lobbies, lifts, stairwells, corridors, car parks, bin rooms, laundry rooms, pool areas, gardens and any shared outdoor spaces. These areas are the responsibility of the owners corporation, not individual lot owners, and must be maintained to a standard that ensures the safety and amenity of all residents.
A professional strata cleaning contract ensures that common areas are cleaned on a regular schedule, with documented records of each visit. This is particularly important for large apartment buildings in Sydney, where common areas experience constant foot traffic and require ongoing maintenance to remain presentable and hygienic.
Body Corporate Obligations, What the Law Requires
Under the Strata Schemes Management Act 2015 (NSW), the owners corporation has specific obligations around common property maintenance. Failure to meet these can result in complaints to NSW Fair Trading or the NSW Civil and Administrative Tribunal (NCAT).
Maintain common property
The owners corporation must keep common property in a state of good and serviceable repair, and maintain it in a clean condition.
Ensure resident safety
Common areas must be maintained to prevent hazards. Slippery floors, obstructions and uncleaned bin rooms can constitute safety failures.
Keep records
Maintenance activities, including cleaning, should be documented. Records support strata levies and are required for audits.
Act on complaints
If a resident complains about cleanliness of common property, the owners corporation must act promptly. Inaction can result in NCAT orders.
A regular strata cleaning contract with ShineMasters provides documented records of every visit, helping your body corporate demonstrate compliance with its maintenance obligations. We can provide cleaning reports, attendance records and certificates of currency for body corporate files.

Working With Strata Managers in Sydney
ShineMasters regularly works with strata management companies across Sydney. We understand the documentation requirements, the tender process and the level of consistency that strata managers expect from their cleaning contractors.
For new strata contracts, we provide a complete tender package including: detailed scope of works, cleaning frequency, pricing schedule, public liability certificate of currency (minimum $20M), work health and safety policy, and references from comparable buildings. This covers everything a body corporate committee needs to make an informed decision.
After each visit, our team completes a digital cleaning report that records the areas cleaned, any issues identified (such as damage, graffiti or maintenance requirements), and the time on site. This report is shared with the strata manager and provides an auditable record for body corporate meetings.
