Common property means shared responsibility.
For strata and body corporate sites, asbestos compliance is usually tied to common property: foyers, hallways, stairwells, car parks, plant rooms, roof spaces, external areas, laundries, service risers, fences, sheds and other shared building elements.
If the register is missing, stale, hard to access or unclear, the risk does not sit with one owner only. It affects the corporation, the strata manager, contractors and anyone arranging maintenance or works.
No register
Older common property has not been properly surveyed.
Old register
The document exists but review dates, condition ratings or site details are stale.
Poor access
Contractors cannot find the register before work starts.
Upcoming works
Painting, repairs, roofing, bathroom works, risers, fencing or refurbishment may disturb asbestos-containing material.
What a strata asbestos register should cover
- Entry foyers and shared internal areas
- Hallways, stairwells and fire doors
- Car parks, garages and storage areas
- Plant rooms and electrical areas
- Roof spaces and service risers where accessible
- External cladding, eaves, fences and outbuildings
- Laundries, bin rooms and shared facilities
- Any no-access areas requiring follow-up or assumptions
Scope depends on property layout, access and agreed inspection limitations. No-access areas must be documented clearly.
What the strata register package includes
- Asbestos register for common property
- Photos of identified or assumed ACM where applicable
- Material type, location and condition notes
- Risk ratings and recommended actions
- No-access area documentation
- Management plan logic where ACM is identified
- Contractor information / Safe Work Instructions where relevant
- Review / valid-till context
- Optional QR register access
- Optional contractor access record pathway

Don't leave it on the page — book your inspection before works begin.
Make the register usable when contractors arrive.
A paper register in an office is often not enough for strata sites with multiple contractors and no permanent site manager. AX4 can add QR access options so contractors can scan and view relevant asbestos information before works proceed. QR access supports accessibility and defensibility — it does not replace the underlying register or management plan.
When should a strata register be reviewed?
- The register is approaching or past its scheduled review date.
- ACM has been removed, enclosed, encapsulated, damaged or disturbed.
- New suspect material has been identified.
- Building works or refurbishment are planned.
- Areas were previously not accessible.
- Contractors or owners cannot access the register easily.
- The committee or strata manager cannot defend the current document if questioned.
Built for strata managers and committees, not just consultants.
