CHU SCA (WA) 2025 Owners Conference Speakers
Catherine Lezer
Past SCA (WA) President, City of Perth Councillor
Born and raised in Perth, Catherine is a passionate advocate for strata living with practical experience with sustainability, community building, asset management, governance and aesthetic improvements.
After various finance positions and property directorships, both in Perth and Sydney, Catherine developed a passion for adding value to apartments and apartment buildings. This experience led to her being the first owner appointed on the Strata Community Association Board and later WA President.
Navigating the complex world of strata, Catherine is equally at home on the stage educating apartment owners or up a ladder getting her hands dirty - just not too high!
Catherine is a City of Perth Councillor, Councillor at Heritage Council WA and sits on both Audit and Risk Committees, chairing for City of Perth. Catherine completed a Bachelor of Business and Master of Business Administration and is a graduate of the Australian Institute of Company Directors.

Carolyn Meighan
Bugden Allen Legal
Carolyn has more than 20 years’ experience assisting clients in relation to a broad range of matters, including property and strata titles, planning, employment, competition and consumer law, contracts, debt recovery and enforcement, statutory interpretation and construction.
​
Carolyn has always had a particular interest in property law. Her significant experience in this area has included providing advice and assistance to clients in relation to leasing matters, residential tenancy disputes, commercial tenancy disputes, easement rights, contracts of sale, caveats, mortgages, memorials and other property interests, including those arising pursuant to a constructive trust.
Her interest in property law has also led Carolyn to advise strata companies, strata managers and lot owners about their rights and obligations in relation to each other, the individual lots in the scheme and the common property, as well as assisting with the drafting, interpretation and application of by-laws. She has also represented strata companies, strata managers and lot owners in proceedings before the State Administrative Tribunal, where she has appeared as counsel.
Shani Graham
Founder Ecoburbia
Shani Graham and her partner Tim run Ecoburbia, an experiment in living lighter on the planet while building stronger neighbourhoods. Their place in Beaconsfield is part infill housing, part sustainable retrofit, part urban farm and, more often than not, a community hang-out. They’ve learnt that the real glue is connection, so they make sure whatever they do comes with a good dose of laughter, play and cups of tea.
​
Ecoburbia picked up a Fremantle Chamber of Commerce award and the WA Small Business Environmental Award back in 2011, and the next year Shani and Tim were surprised to find themselves winning the national Banksia Award for Excellence in Small Business. Shani was also named Fremantle Citizen of the Year in 2011.
​
After realising winning awards didn’t make any difference to her life, Shani stopped applying for them – she’s now content milking goats, working in the garden, and chatting to her neighbours.
