Strata News & Information

Hello <<First Name>>

Welcome to this edition of Your Strata News.

I'm traveling up & down the East Coast this week for business. At the beginning of the week I was staying a few blocks from VCAT, and just could't resist taking a quick shot of the VCAT building for the newsletter. I'm in Brisbane today, and traveling to Sydney for a few days this evening. Due to travel, the newsletter is condensed this week. Watch out for a super sized edition next week!

Editors picks not be missed this week:

REMINDER - Attention Owners: Strata Titled properties in WA - the Australian Council on Smoking and Health (ACOSH) has contact LookUpStrata about the ‘Smoke-free Strata Housing Incentive Scheme’. It is aimed at strata-titled properties wanting to develop a smoke-free by-law in WA. They are offering a new grant for $500. For all details and to fill in an application form, please head to their website www.acosh.org. (Note: this is only available to buildings in Western Australia).
