About the May 2025 edition
The May 2025 edition of The WA Strata Magazine covers insurance obligations, legal rights, regulatory reform, and strata scheme administration for Western Australian strata communities. Insurance articles address storm versus pre-existing water damage, pergola insurance responsibility, self-managed strata broker rebates, and winter property preparation, while legal and governance pieces examine WA's 2025 statutory strata law review, Landgate carport registration, maintenance plan requirements for survey strata schemes, and record handover obligations between strata managers. The edition also covers EV charging fire mitigation integration, urgent issue escalation, and owner contribution recovery authority.
