About the November 2023 edition

Insurance articles address bushfire risk rating improvements, insurance renewal meeting obligations, replacement valuations, and the role of professional valuers in building insurance assessments. Governance and legal pieces tackle stale by-law breach notices, exclusive use area maintenance costs, CCTV signage requirements, noise fine authority, council expenditure on social items, and the process for updating unfair unit entitlements.
