Lots of good work has been done to try to focus the NSW Government on the need to reform antiquated strata laws and to stop the further erosion of the consumer rights of strata owners & residents.
Alas, the current government has dragged its heels with promised reforms. It has advanced the rights of the construction industry ahead of those of strata owners & residents.
Strata needs its own voice to be heard not just in the run up to an election but in parliament for the next term. Alex Greenwich the Independent Member for Sydney has been the lone champion of strata owners & residents for too long. He together with the new Strata Party – Group H are the only hope for giving a voice to strata residents & owners.
Unless the government wakes up to the voice of strata, there is a real danger that strata living will cease to be the lifestyle choice for many.
