About the December 2022 edition
The December 2022 edition of The WA Strata Magazine closes the year with a review of strata titles developments, insurance dispute resolution, governance, and embedded network protections for Western Australian strata schemes. Insurance articles address liability for failed unauthorised repairs, damage repair during dispute resolution, and fire contractor access fee recovery, while governance pieces cover bylaw accuracy after voting, CCTV installation approval, AGM efficiency tips, voting rights for couples holding large lot stakes, and special levy procedures. The edition also covers unapproved pergola rectification, balcony drainage issues, building manager employment options, and new embedded network consumer protections.
