        Would be great if strata living was taken seriously by politicians; and the developers, management companies were brought to heel.

        A real building warranty. and no building managers with ties to builders getting lucrative contracts. And abolish embedded networks where there is a restriction of choice for owners.

        Let’s hope the OCN gets some traction and that it spreads throughout the country.

        And some real powers to rid residential buildings of ‘short -term letting’ would be very welcome. At the very least to allow the OC to have a true picture of which apartments are being used for short-term letting and authority to immediately expel miscreants and punish the owner with punitive penalties for repeated misbehaviour.

        Maybe there needs to be an indication on for sale advertisements of how many apartments in the building are available for short-term letting? When residential owners see the value of the property falling then they’ll demand action.

          The idea of identifying blocks that allow or don’t allow short-term lets is very interesting.  As well as flushing out the by-law-dodgers, it might focus OC’s thoughts on whether they want a by-law or not.  But bear in mind, the by-law option is only available to strata schemes in greater Sydney and, even then, restrictions only apply to non-resident owners.
