The new NSW legislation changes cover strata managers, but does it also extend to building managers?
The changes in the Strata Schemes Legislation Amendment Bill 2025 place more obligations upon the building manager.
There has been an expansion in respect of building manager obligations in the Strata Schemes Legislation Amendment Bill 2025. Effectively, some of the obligations that apply to strata managers also apply to building managers.
Some disclosure requirements regarding the connection between strata managers and building managers were introduced in the Strata Managing Agents Legislation Amendment Act 2024, passed in September 2024, but they were more incumbent upon strata managers. The changes in the Strata Schemes Legislation Amendment Bill 2025 place more obligations upon the building manager.
