Reply To: Victoria: A shambolic state of strata chaos

I still suspect that the reason there seem to be fewer problems with defects in Victoria is due to lack of transparencey – owners can’t even attend strata committee meetings, stata managers bring their own building managers and, until recently, strata schemes needed a special resolution to initiate legal action. And there’s also the fact that there are a lot more residential strata schemes in NSW and, as you said, more buildings were thrown up in a rush in NSW.

But as for which one is better than the other – I don’t think that’s relevant.  Each state has its own problems and as long as base our thinking on false equivalences – something of which I have probably been guilty, too –  progress will be hard.  Each also has its own solutions and that’s what we should be looking at.

But in regard to the cladding issue, the post from CBD3000 doesn’t paint a rosy picture of the situation in Victoria.
