About the June 2024 edition
The June 2024 edition of The WA Strata Magazine focuses heavily on insurance disclosure, inflation impacts on coverage adequacy, and financial accountability within Western Australian strata schemes. Articles address insurance commission disclosure obligations, inflation-driven underinsurance risks, accurate property valuation, water valve maintenance responsibility, and the strata company's ability to prevent owner claims. Governance and legal pieces cover power board upgrade responsibility, tenant access to resident facilities, over-55s complex residency rules, trust account interest obligations, and the process for handling owners who bypass official repair procedures.
