Release of strata title law reforms position paper

Following more than two years of consultation with the community and industry representatives, Fair Trading released a position paper setting out the NSW Government’s reforms of the strata title laws.

The Strata and Community Title Law Reform Position Paper highlights 70 proposed changes to the current laws. These reforms focus on improving the everyday things that people living in strata care about, including building a culture of community and cooperation and supporting democratic and accountable decision-making. Importantly, the reforms also seek to empower strata communities to chart their own future.
