New Post: NEWS: Nimby-Yimby war spreads to Victoria It seems Sydney is not the only place where the Nimby-Yimby war is heating up, fuelled by the perfectly logical plan to concentrate new homes – meaning apartment blocks – near railway stations. Maps showing where new unit blocks will be built in the Victorian capital have just been released (https://leftfield.us16.list-manage.com/track/click?u=c6a9411685f4c90e1d21f42b0&id=487aba1c71&e=a34bf173fe) and the predictable squeals of outrage almost drown out the rattle of the trams. https://www.flatchat.com.au/?p=81094

In what could be the most significant gathering of strata professionals, apartment owners, and industry experts this year, the Owners Corporation Network (OCN) is taking bookings for the highly anticipated “Strata Matters 2025: Smarter Strata” https://www.flatchat.com.au/?p=81074

New Post: New shields for domestic violence victim tenants Victims of domestic violence will soon have greater power to leave unsafe homes and protect their privacy under new rental reforms introduced to the NSW Parliament this week. About half of strata properties are occupied by renters so these measures could have a major impact on apartment residents, as well as their landlords. The Residential Tenancies Amendment (Domestic Violence Reform) Bill 2025 introduces changes intended https://www.flatchat.com.au/?p=81065

New Post: Strata sustainability and disability law changes The recent changes to NSW strata law covered a lot of ground – from making it easier to sack committee members to increased consumer protection over contracts. But media focus on the “sexier” issues meant the some of the less click-bait changes went unnoticed.
