Provisional SSAA Membership

The Self Storage Association of Australasia is a group of self storage facility owners, managers and suppliers interested in fostering the development of the self storage industry on a sound ethical and professional basis.

Provisional membership has become an asset assisting those people and businesses looking at entering the industry through development or purchase of a self storage business. The Self Storage Association of Australasia believes these people should be provided with as much industry information s possible to ensure that their business has the most chance of success, which also benefits the industry as a whole. Members are able to pool their resources to increase public awareness, enhance their image and stimulate overall demand for the industry.

SSAA members keep abreast of current industry activities and events through a regular journal, annual convention, public communications, seminars, training and educational and informative materials for self storage owners, operators, business managers and suppliers.

PROVISIONAL MEMBERSHIP ENTITLES YOU TO…

Standard Self Storage Agreement and Manual of Advice and Procedures
A Standard Self Storage Agreement has been drafted by the Association's legal advisers to assist in protecting operators from liability in relation to customers. It is regularly reviewed in the light of experiences. This Agreement is made available to members for their protection and to increase the credibility of the industry. The manual supports the agreement and provides guidelines for industry "best practice".

Benchmarking
A totally independent academic institution conducts a regular quantitative assessment to enable participants to identify their strengths and weaknesses and to establish industry bench marks against which to measure performance. For the fisrt time in 2006 there will also be a comprehensive demand study taken of the industry and what drives its customers to choose a storage solution.

This is the premier event for the industry and is held at various locations around Australia and New Zealand.
