Information for Owners & Agents

Commerce Court is managed under strata title. A functional and informed Council of Owners and a competent strata manager are essential for:

Building maintenance and compliance
Fair allocation of shared costs
Safe and professional conditions for tenants and their clients

If you are an owner or agent, you should ensure you have access to:

Current Strata Plan and By-Laws
Annual General Meeting (AGM) minutes and budgets
Details of the appointed strata management company
Any building-specific house rules or policies for tenants

Prospective owners and tenants are strongly encouraged to review recent AGM minutes and discuss the building’s condition and management with existing occupants before making decisions.

Building History & Background

Commerce Court Offices were established by the Armadale & Districts Chamber of Commerce in the 1980s as a local business hub.

Over time, the complex has experienced:

Periods of under-investment and inconsistent management
Challenges around maintenance, overcrowding, and tenant mix
Limited clarity about responsibilities between owners, strata, and local authorities

A commemorative brass plaque and other signage once acknowledged the Chamber’s role in establishing the complex. These were removed around January 2020 and have not been formally explained in strata records.

Recent improvements

Since the appointment of a new strata manager, Total Strata Management, conditions have significantly improved, including:

Repainting and updating of external signage
Internal directional signage
More defined tenant selection and occupancy criteria

The extended historical account of issues, correspondence, and lessons learned has been retained as a separate background document for transparency and future reference.

Transparency & Business Community Request

Local businesses rely on accurate information about:

Who is responsible for building maintenance and compliance
Which laws apply (e.g. Commercial Tenancies Act, Strata Titles Act)
How to resolve issues efficiently and fairly

Over many years, tenants and owners have spent significant time simply trying to understand who is responsible for what.

Our request to government and local authorities is straightforward:
Provide clear, transparent and coordinated information about responsibilities for commercial premises, so local businesses can focus on serving the community rather than chasing answers.
