About the November 2024 edition
The November 2024 edition of The NSW Strata Magazine addresses committee governance, building safety, and insurance coverage across a range of practical strata scenarios. Key topics include committee deadlocks and decision-making when votes are tied, roof leak liability from delayed committee action, smoke alarm requirements in common areas, and roof access safety considerations. The edition also covers strata's role in energy-inefficient window replacement, sinkhole insurance coverage, and the process for precluding owners from submitting AGM motions.
