NSW: Annual reporting for strata schemes
The NSW Government wants to better understand the needs of the strata sector. To achieve this, owners corporations would need to report on and verify key information each year. The information to be reported covers basic details about the scheme as well as some core building, safety and management information.
New regulation asks strata schemes to provide key information.
Have your say and complete a survey about the proposed new annual reporting for strata schemes.
Deadline: 18 November 2021
