About the September 2023 edition
The September 2023 edition of The WA Strata Magazine is one of the most comprehensive issues, addressing insurance funding, EV charging infrastructure, embedded networks, commercial strata evolution, and governance rights for Western Australian strata schemes. Insurance articles cover premium funding options, tattoo parlour tenant premium increases, insurance replacement valuations, and the commercial rationale for fixing water damage without claiming. Governance and legal pieces examine council information withholding, AGM attendance options, 10-year reserve fund planning, no-dog by-law validity, car bay classification, and records management standards for well-run strata buildings.
