Is there any legal requirement for Strata properties to have some sort of identification of the Strata Manager visible on the exterior of the building? If not, should there be?
I occasionally notice problems with properties relating to security, safety, amenity, etc which I feel should be notified to the management, but have been overlooked/ignored by occupants.
I don’t want to be seen as interfering, but often a phone call or email to a manager could solve/prevent a problem if I knew who to contact. Most properties have a “strata” letter box, but I doubt these are checked regularly. Some form of clear notice/sign outside of the security boundary might alleviate the problem. It may even be of benefit to occupants. It could be particularly useful for emergency services in the event of an incident.
I can recall back in pre-strata days, there were signs stating who the managing agent of apartment blocks was.

No, there isn’t, but you’re right, there should be. That said, I can imagine the endless arguments about where it should be positioned, what it should say and how big (and in what font) the letters should be.
Bearing in mind that some strata schemes don’t even want to display the names and contact details of their committee members, this may be a can of worms that remains unopened.
Personally, I think every strata scheme of more than 50 units should have a mandatory static webpage that lists the committee members and the strata and/or building managers’ contact details. But then I’m just a 21st Century guy.
