From Belmont and Swansea round to Toronto, Warners Bay and Cardiff, Lake Macquarie is duplex and dual-occupancy country. Townhouse Strata is based at Caves Beach, so these are our neighbours as well as our clients.
What we do for Lake Macquarie 2-lot schemes
- Keep the strata roll and records in a secure vault both owners can see
- Check the building insurance every year — right name, right sum insured, $20m liability
- Provide the written-resolution templates the law requires and chase the second signature
- Issue the Section 184 certificate within the 14-day legal limit when a home sells
- Send both owners an annual compliance statement
All for $395 + GST a year for the whole scheme. You keep paying the insurer and any trades directly; we never hold your money.
Local, not remote
Duplex Strata is run by Townhouse Strata, a Lake Macquarie firm managing small schemes across the Hunter and Central Coast. If something needs a set of eyes on site in Lake Macquarie, that's a short drive, not a call centre. See how it works or read the guides.
Where the law is at (03-10-2026)
- From 1 October 2026 (now in force): 2-lot schemes no longer lodge the annual Strata Hub report (NSW Fair Trading, "Changes to strata laws").
- Small strata scheme rules (no meetings, decisions by written resolution of both owners, new s 7A): in a Bill that has passed the Legislative Assembly and is before the Legislative Council. They start on a date to be proclaimed. Until then, where the law still requires a meeting, we give you a simple template pack so you can hold it yourselves in a few minutes.
- Unchanged: the duty to insure the building for full replacement value in the owners corporation's name, to keep common property in repair, to keep a strata roll and records, and to provide a Section 184 certificate when a lot is sold.
