What's the average strata fee in Australia?
Strata fees vary enormously by building type, age and city — but a typical Australian apartment owner pays $3,000–$8,000 per year for an average building. Older buildings, those with lifts, pools, gyms or concierge are at the higher end.
There's no national 'average' that's meaningful — a 1970s walk-up in a regional town might pay $1,800/year while a CBD high-rise with full amenities can pay $15,000+. The right benchmark is similar buildings in your suburb, which you can request through your strata manager or research via state disclosure registers.
