Management Rights in QLD: Owners & Occupiers Review


The voices of commercial interests in strata buildings often drown out the voices of owners and occupiers. Prior to the recent state election, a UOAQ newsletter published a letter from the Deputy Premier Steven Miles that invited the UOAQ Committee to contribute to a legislation review regarding management rights in our buildings.
