Strata by laws and rules are simultaneously good, misunderstood and poorly done.
Superior Courts have repeatedly said so in the leading cases, overturning and invalidating them more often than not.
So, strata stakeholders really need to do better on their by laws: whether for building operations and management, to create special rights or, increasingly, for strata lot owners renovation and alteration works.
And, here’s good, simple, and free guidance about renovation by laws from JS Mueller & Co.
What they say is common sense and seemingly obvious. But there’s a lot of by laws being drafted and made that don’t match these guidelines.
So, well done JS Mueller & Co for helping improve strata outcomes without being too advertorial and scaremongering.
Would a good scope of works cover most of these points?
