Welcome to our latest newsletter full of strata title information from around Australia.
At the start of the year we developed some FactSheets to pull information about certain strata topics together in one spot. They have been very successful & it looks as if everyone is finding them useful. I am in the process of improving the layout of the FactSheets. Here is one of the newly formatted FactSheets - Strata By-Laws and Legislation. What do you think?
In this edition will discover what owners corporations can do about unauthorised parking, how to handle noise in strata schemes and how to organise contractors while they are at your site - plus plenty of other strata information.
Sorry this edition of the newsletter is a little late. I've spent the last few days at a dance competition in NSW with my daughter :)
Kind regards
Nikki
