Owners Say Strata Rules Still Skewed

Victoria’s government rolled out a diluted apartment reform plan, disappointing owners who pushed for major changes like banning insurance kickbacks and limiting developer voting power—only 17 of 51 recommendations got full backing. Building managers, however, cheered the decision to delay banning commissions, calling for more research. While new rules eased fee payments and lowered voting thresholds, the big wins owners wanted remain stalled. Critics blast the consumer affairs department for inaction, while the minister defends the status quo, claiming no evidence of failure. Owners feel the system’s still stacked against them, and the battle for fairer strata living is far from over. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
