About the July 2026 edition
This July 2026 edition of the VIC Strata Magazine examines owners corporation governance and compliance, covering insurance tier requirements, three-box ballot rules for committee elections, and updates on proposed strata legislation reforms. Building safety features prominently, with articles on funding large-scale remediation works, managing trip hazards from WHS reports, concrete cancer inspections, and mandatory fire safety access. Financial oversight and administration round out the issue, including lift component lifecycle management, detecting audit trail gaps in strata manager fund transfers, and setting up committee email record-keeping systems.
