About the February 2023 edition
The February 2023 edition of The VIC Strata Magazine opens the year with a focus on insurance disputes, consumer protection, strata financing, and community governance for Victorian owners corporations. Insurance articles address responsibility disputes between owners and the building, repairing damage during dispute resolution, and the implications of insurance pushing liability back onto the building. The edition also covers practical topics including smartphone building access, hybrid car charging on common property, contractor scope changes, building-wide lock replacements, and new legislative pathways for Victorian strata communities in 2023.
