We support apartment buildings, townhouse and villa complexes, mixed-use properties and community schemes. Whether your committee needs help with everyday administration or a building matter requiring closer attention, we work with you to establish priorities and keep decisions moving.

An experienced team supporting Shoalhaven committees
Cohen Eder is Essential Strata Management’s licensed strata manager servicing Nowra within his wider South Coast service area. Based in Batemans Bay, Cohen works with owners and committees on budgets, meetings, maintenance requests, contractor coordination and scheme correspondence.
He is supported by Ellouise Tyrrell, the Group’s Class 1 Principal and Director, Business Manager Mark Truran and the wider administration and accounting team. This support helps maintain continuity when a manager is attending a meeting, visiting a building or on leave. Matters requiring additional oversight can be escalated to senior management.

Strata services organised around your building
A small villa complex and a mixed-use building have different workloads. We consider the scheme’s size, shared facilities, outstanding repairs and committee priorities when preparing a management proposal. The proposal and agency agreement explain the services included and any additional charges.
Our management services can include:
- Day-to-day administration, correspondence and strata records.
- Levy notices, invoice processing and scheme accounting.
- Budget preparation and financial reporting.
- AGM preparation, meeting notices and minutes.
- Strata committee meeting support and follow-up of decisions.
- Insurance renewal administration and claims coordination under the agreed arrangements.
- Common property maintenance requests, quotations and work orders.
- Capital works planning coordination and maintenance records.
- By-law administration and levy arrears follow-up.
- Strata information certificates, records inspections and annual reporting support.
- Appointment planning and records handover when changing managers.
Financial information your committee can use
Clear financial reporting helps committees plan expenditure and understand the relationship between levies, routine expenses and future works. We help organise budgets, process approved invoices and maintain the records needed to review the scheme’s financial position.
Owners and committee members can access scheme information through the Intellistrata portal, subject to their permissions. This can include levy information, financial reports, invoices, insurance documents, meeting papers and other records. Owners who live outside the Shoalhaven can stay informed without needing to visit the office for every enquiry.
Management fees are invoiced monthly with an itemised invoice. Essential Strata Management does not receive insurance commissions or financial incentives from tradespeople and contractors. Applicable management fees and additional service charges are disclosed in the proposal and agency agreement.
Maintenance coordination for Nowra properties
Keeping a building maintained requires a record of what has been reported, what has been approved and what still needs attention. Our team helps committees organise that process, including obtaining quotations, issuing authorised work orders, coordinating access and following up with contractors.
For a townhouse scheme, priorities might include shared driveways, fencing, exterior painting or guttering. An apartment building may also require attention to fire-safety systems, common lighting, access equipment, balconies or shared plumbing. Mixed-use buildings can need additional coordination where residential and commercial occupants use common facilities at different times.
Drainage and weather exposure should be assessed for the individual site. A property near the Shoalhaven River may have different considerations from an inland development or a coastal scheme. Qualified contractors and consultants assess technical issues; our role is to help the owners corporation arrange the work and maintain clear communication and records.
For general guidance on repair responsibilities, see the NSW Government guide to strata repairs and maintenance. Your strata plan and by-laws help establish the responsibilities applying to your scheme.
A Nowra contact point for the wider Shoalhaven
Our Nowra service supports committees in the town centre and nearby communities including North Nowra, South Nowra, Bomaderry and Worrigee. Essential also services surrounding Shoalhaven communities, including Berry, Shoalhaven Heads, Culburra Beach and the Jervis Bay area.
Client meetings, online discussions and building attendance can be arranged to suit the matter being considered. Contact the team before visiting to confirm the appointment location and availability. This is especially useful where several committee members, a contractor or a consultant need to take part.
For investors and owners living in Sydney, Canberra or elsewhere, written updates and access to scheme records help keep decisions visible. Strata management covers the owners corporation and shared property; any tenancy management for an individual investment property is a separate service.
Reviewing your strata management arrangements
If your committee is reviewing communication, maintenance follow-up or management costs, we welcome the opportunity to discuss what your building needs. A useful starting point is the latest AGM agenda or minutes, the current agency agreement and a summary of outstanding works or financial concerns.
We can prepare a tailored proposal and explain the proposed service, fees and appointment arrangements. The existing agreement and the owners corporation’s circumstances need to be reviewed before deciding on a changeover. Once appointed, we coordinate the handover of scheme records and outstanding matters with the outgoing agent.
