These very quick bursts of content have been purpose built for busy people. We know everyone is short on time, so every Monday and Wednesday morning we send out a newsletter packed full of articles, legislative changes, upcoming events, strata positions and news stories.
This edition of Strata News provides you with the following strata content:
- QLD: Creative solutions to your body corporate parking problems | May 2022 - Todd Garsden, Mahoneys & Will Marquand, Tower Body Corporate
- NSW Q: I'm the owner of management rights in a NSW strata scheme and our agreement is due to be topped up. During negotiations with the committee, the SM has circulated the draft agreement to non-committee lot owners. Is this the usual process? - Leanne Habib, Premium Strata

- NSW Q: One of our EC members has called a general meeting to terminate our current strata manager and appoint a new one. He states there is a dispute about the length of the current agreement.
