🍂 Autumn Property Maintenance Tips for Strata Owners 🍂

As we are well into the Autumn season, as the leaves change and the weather cools, it`s the perfect time to prepare your property for the upcoming winter months. Proper autumn maintenance ensures your strata property stays safe, efficient, and welcoming. Here are a few key recommendations to get your property ready for the season:

1. Clearing your Gutters and Downpipes🏠🍃
Autumn leaves can easily clog gutters, leading to was ingress and water damage. Be sure to have them cleared to ensure they are draining and operating effectively.

2. Inspect Roofs & Exterior 🏡🔍
Engage a roof specialist to check for deteriorated capping, loose tiles, or any signs of wear that could lead to leaks in the coming winter months and wet season.

3. Maintain Heating Systems 🔥
Before the chill sets in, have your individual heating system serviced to ensure it`s running efficiently. A well-maintained system can save on energy bills and keep residents comfortable. If your system is running through a Common Property Cooling tower, ensure that it is serviced.

4. Trim Trees & Shrubs 🌳✂️
Autumn is a great time to trim back trees and shrubs to prevent branches from breaking off in strong winds and causing damage to the building.

5. Seal Windows & Doors 🌬️🛠️
Check for drafts and seal gaps around windows and doors to improve energy efficiency and reduce heating costs.

6. Inspect Common Areas 🏢💡
Ensure that lighting, walkways, and railings in common areas are in good condition to avoid any safety hazards. Adjust the Common Property times to reflect the end of Day Light Savings (DLS).

Get in touch with your Strata Manager to discuss placing some of these items on a maintenance schedule to ensure the upkeep and value of your property.
A little upkeep now can save you a lot of hassle later. Share these tips with your fellow strata residents to keep your property looking its best all season long! 🍁✨

🏡🌳 Court Ruling: Owners Corporation Can Apply for Tree Removal/Pruning 🌳🏡

In a recent decision, the Land and Environment Court ruled that an Owners Corporation (Strata) can apply to have trees on a neighbouring property removed or pruned if they obstruct views or sunlight to apartments.

This ruling clarifies that the owners corporation doesn`t need individual apartment owners to apply for relief. The case involved 21 Cyprus trees in Sydney’s lower North Shore obstructing views and sunlight to apartments in a strata building.

Previously, only individual owners could apply, but now owners corporations have more flexibility in resolving tree disputes directly via the and and Environment Court and the Trees (Disputes between Neighbors) Act 2009.

If you have any questions regarding this recent ruling or require advice about tree disputes and Strata, please reach out to your Strata Manager for further assistance.
