As of July 1, 2025, significant reforms to New South Wales (NSW) strata legislation are set to commence, marking the second phase of a comprehensive overhaul aimed at enhancing transparency, accountability, and governance within strata schemes.

Key Changes Effective July 1, 2025:

1. Increased Disclosure Obligations for Strata Managers

Strata managing agents will be required to disclose any affiliations with suppliers and developers, including details of commissions or training services received. This aims to ensure owners corporations are fully informed about potential financial benefits the strata manager might be gaining.

2. Enhanced Strata Committee Duties and Mandatory Training

Strata committee members will have expanded fiduciary duties, requiring them to act in the best interests of the owners corporation. Additionally, mandatory training will be introduced for committee members, and failure to complete this training may result in the vacating of their office.

3. Developer Accountability for Initial Levies and Maintenance

Developers will be held accountable for initial levies and maintenance in new strata schemes. This includes providing the owners corporation with the initial maintenance schedule and estimates of contributions to the administrative and capital works fund at the first Annual General Meeting (FAGM).

4. Building Managers Duties

Building managers will also have statutory duties imposed upon them. This will increase accountability for the way that buildings are managed.

5. Enhanced Protection for Owners

NSW Fair Trading will have expanded powers to assist with common property maintenance matters, providing greater support to owners in resolving disputes.

Clisdells is committed to staying ahead of legislative changes and ensuring full compliance in all our services. We are here to help you navigate these reforms and continue delivering high-quality, transparent, and effective strata management.

🍂 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! 🍁✨
