About the April 2026 edition
The April 2026 edition of The WA Strata Magazine addresses insurance obligations, maintenance planning, AGM governance, and emerging regulatory changes for Western Australian strata schemes. Insurance articles examine how poor maintenance in one building can affect an entire scheme's coverage, flooring damage liability from common property pipe failures, and whether lot owners can arrange their own insurance. The edition also covers the 2027 embedded network reforms, proactive versus reactive maintenance cycles, AGM timing and decision-making procedures, digital record-keeping, and the financial implications of opposing strata improvement works.
