Greater Sydney has thousands of duplexes and dual-occupancy homes, from Blacktown, Parramatta and Penrith to Liverpool, Fairfield, Canterbury-Bankstown, the Hills and the Sutherland Shire. Many are two-lot strata schemes, and many have never had anyone check the strata side.
Yes, we cover Sydney
Duplex Strata covers the whole of New South Wales, and everything is done online. Your records, insurance check, budget and decisions all happen in your own secure portal, so it makes no difference whether your duplex is in Blacktown or Byron Bay. The price is the same: $395 + GST a year for the whole scheme, not per home.
What we do for Sydney duplex owners
- Keep the strata roll and records online, where both owners can see them
- Check the building insurance every year: right name, right amount, right cover
- Give you simple online forms for your budget and decisions, signed by both owners
- Remind you when things fall due, such as insurance renewal and a new valuation
- Issue the Section 184 certificate when a home is sold
We don't hold meetings, arrange repairs or hold your money. You and your neighbour stay in charge; we keep the legal side in order.
Who's behind it
Duplex Strata is run by Townhouse Strata, a Class 1 licensed strata managing agent (NSW Fair Trading). Alan Hunter, the licensee in charge, looks after small strata schemes every day. Take the 2-minute check, see what's included, or get the free guide.
- 1 October 2026: two-lot schemes stop lodging 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.
