The Victorian government on Wednesday released the Expert Panel report on strata reform after sitting on it for six months. A PDF link follows. The report recognises governance problems explicitly but mostly fails to recommend reforms to fix them.

I should add that the chief concerns for me (owner motions, attendance at committee meetings and plain old conflict of interest such as developer companies as managers) were not covered in Expert Panel’s terms of reference, and thus no recommendations were made. That means those matters can be pursued separately. But the panel did have some comments on these concerns, such as: “Meetings and agendas, often driven by the OC committee or manager, sometimes exclude general discussion or motions submitted by lot owners, eroding democratic participation.”
