Starting a Smart Locker Business in Australia

Strata and body corporate

Apartment buildings are commonly governed by an owners corporation or body corporate. Changes to common property may need a resolution, so build approval time into your plan and work with the strata manager.

AUD pricing and GST

Price in Australian dollars. Register for GST if your turnover reaches the threshold, and consider an ABN — check current rules with the ATO or an accountant. LockerLauncher software starts from $100 per month.

Electrical compliance

Electrical equipment sold in Australia generally needs to meet Australian standards, often shown by the RCM mark. Use a licensed electrician for installation.

Distance and climate

Outside capital cities, a site round can mean long drives — plan clusters of sites. Outdoor lockers need suitable heat, UV and weather protection.

Where to start

City apartment buildings, sports and surf clubs, campuses and visitor areas are reasonable first places to investigate.

Common questions

Do I need strata approval?

For common property in a strata scheme, usually yes. Ask the strata manager about the process.

Can lockers be shipped to regional Australia?

Yes, but freight and installation costs rise with distance. Get a site-specific quote.
