In 2020 Smarter Communities made a commitment to the Forktree Project located in South Australia’s Fleurieu Peninsula to help improve the health of the planet.
By participating in this project, Smarter Communities has committed to becoming carbon neutral within five years through the plantation of 900+ plants.
This is an ambitious yet achievable target, demonstrating the company’s dedication to restoring and reforesting neglected farmland for the purpose of land regeneration and carbon offsetting as well as re-establishing the native Australian habitat.
As a responsible corporate citizen, Smarter Communities is always prepared to support the community in times of need. This ranges from providing financial support to organisations such as Red Cross, Beyond Blue, Lifeline, St Vincent de Paul Society to team members giving up their time to support charitable organisations/events.
In 2020 Smarter Communities made a financial contribution of $15,000 each to two leading community relief organisations – Beyond Blue and Lifeline.
In 2021 we will continue to support those less fortunate than us.
Happy Clients All Across Australia
“We have a mix of owner-occupiers and investors in our building and have never found the ‘right’ way of doing things to satisfy both owners desires, since using CSM we are finally having relaxed BC meetings and all the owners are happy!!”
– Marrisa Stewark
I have dealt with the strata on several different occasions and have always found their level of professionalism one of their strongest qualities. Challenge Strata Management replaced our earlier useless strata managers and the process for all strata related issues is much easier. I would recommend the strata managers for anyone else on the Gold Coast.”

Customer
Gloria Ginley is the Senior Relationship Manager for the Body Corporate where I own a Villa in Reedy Creek. In all of my dealings, Gloria has been extremely prompt, efficient and thorough. Many of my request have been "ad hoc" or unexpected, and Gloria always seamlessly took care of it - and I always felt it would be actioned and resolved without needing to follow up. She is obviously very experienced and organised - and I highly recommend her as a great manager!
Owner
Katie Naish has been a pleasure to work with throughout the process of coordinating our team at Gold Coast Pressure Washing Services and the residents at a property we completed work on. We appreciate her professionalism and responsiveness, which played a key role in ensuring everything ran smoothly for our team.
Resident
Katie Naish has been great to deal with and responds promptly to questions and follows up quotes. I’m extremely pleased that she’s doing such a great job for us, in what can be a frustrating and difficult field.
