The WA Strata Magazine August 2022

About the August 2022 edition

The August 2022 edition of The WA Strata Magazine covers insurance distinctions, capital works planning, governance procedures, and new Community Title Legislation for Western Australian strata schemes. Insurance articles examine the difference between landlord and strata insurance, timely insurance renewal payment collection, and thermographic inspections for fire risk reduction, while governance pieces address budget spending approval, proxy-based quorum achievement, abstention voting procedures, and majority owner council control. The edition also explores access restriction for resident safety, 10-year plan financial management, minute-taking exemptions for small schemes, and the impacts of new community title legislation on existing buildings.
