About the August 2026 edition
The August 2026 edition of the QLD Strata Magazine focuses on body corporate financial management, covering insurance renewal voting, special levies versus strata loans, and negligence claims against body corporate managers. Legal and compliance contributors address spending limit bypasses, solo contractor instructions by committee members, disability parking enforcement, and plans of subdivision with exclusive use, while property-specific disputes examine balcony cabanas, common property bollards, and dishwasher insurance coverage. Fire safety compliance also features, with a look at annual condition reports and their importance.
