Strata security in Sydney, costs and licensed providers

Strata security is guarding and patrols for apartment buildings and strata complexes, usually arranged by the strata manager or owners corporation. The common jobs: a concierge or static guard in the lobby, evening patrols of car parks and common areas, alarm response, and short-term cover when a building has a specific problem, car park break-ins, short-stay party flats, vandalism in common areas. Costs are a building expense approved by the committee, so providers quote in clean weekly or per-visit figures that drop straight into a budget paper. Price drivers are coverage hours, patrol frequency, building size and whether the role includes concierge duties. If you are quoting for a committee, run the estimate below first, it gives the meeting a realistic number, then licensed providers confirm exact pricing.
