About the March 2023 edition
The March 2023 edition of The WA Strata Magazine covers insurance claims below excess thresholds, EV charging infrastructure, AGM administration, and short-term letting rights for Western Australian strata schemes. Insurance articles address water damage costs below the excess, electricity loss claims during repairs, and evolving consumer protection standards, while governance pieces tackle AGM minuting accuracy, poll vote procedures, strata roll maintenance, and formal complaint processes to the council of owners. The edition also explores asbestos management, pool lining colour decisions, hot water system relocation approvals, GST on levies, and City of Perth sustainable building grants.
