On Friday, LookUpStrata was delighted to attend and hold a trade booth at the CHU SCA (WA) 2021 Convention at the Ritz-Carlton in Perth. We had a fantastic day chatting to Strata Managers and Industry Professionals and we even had the chance to listen to a few speakers. To check out the photos from the day, take a look at our LinkedIn page shortly. We have plenty of photos with contributors, and supporters. Thanks to SCA (WA) for a limitless day!

The Importance of Getting Your By-Laws Right
Retiling the Balcony - Do we need acoustic underlay?
NSW Q: Is it compulsory to have a strata committee under the NSW Act? Is it a breach of the act if there isn't a strata committee working with the managing agent?
NSW Q: Recent minutes did not mention the attendance of the (non owner and non proxied) son of an owner. I am being told that only owners names will be listed as attendees. Is this correct?
QLD Q: How do you think the quality of the existing working relationship between the voluntary committee of owners and the building manager impacts whether variations are granted or not?
WA Q: Section 127(1) of the Strata Titles Act 1985 states that a strata company must hold an AGM once in each 12 month period and not more than 15 months after its previous AGM. These statements seem to contradict each other. What is the rule?
NSW Q: Our driveway requires major work. At the AGM over half the lots were missing or did not submit a vote. The missing owners were counted as voting YES. Is this correct?

NSW: Annual reporting for strata schemes
The NSW Government wants to better understand the needs of the strata sector. To achieve this, owners corporations would need to report on and verify key information each year. The information to be reported covers basic details about the scheme as well as some core building, safety and management information. New regulation asks strata schemes to provide key information.
Have your say and complete a survey about the proposed new annual reporting for strata schemes.
