It would be a start if NSW and Victoria could reach some sort of agreement (although there are huge disparities, such as the thresholds for agreeing to legal action and the “forced sales” provisions).
However, you can forget about ever getting Queensland on board as long as the legalised corruption of developers being able to pre-sell management rights contracts over which strata owners have no say is maintained.
Is there any other area of life where a contract is sold for no other reason than to fill the coffers of a business and then the people who have to service that contract have no say in its terms and no chance of rescinding it regardless of how bad the service is?
Imagine buying a car and being told you had to have it serviced for the next 25 years at a garage chosen by the dealer at rates set by the garage and with no comeback if their work was sub-standard. Incredible!
Oh, and by the way, the Queensland branch of Strata Community Australia (the strata managers’ professional body) thinks this is a brilliant system that the rest of Australia should adopt.
