The Urban Development Institute of Australia (UDIA WA) welcomed news today that the Strata Titles Amendment Bill 2018 has passed through Parliament.

“UDIA has been advocating strongly for the need for strata reform in WA for many years,” UDIA WA CEO Allison Hailes said.

“This reform will bring a range of benefits for strata living arrangements through better regulation of strata managers and improved dispute resolution processes,” Ms Hailes said.

“We hope to see the Community Title Bill 2018 passed next week as well,” Ms Hailes said. “That will truly bring WA’s strata legislation into the modern era.”

“These reforms have involved extensive consultation between UDIA and lead agency Landgate along with the broader community,” Ms Hailes said. “A true collaboration that will have a positive impact moving forward.”

“UDIA congratulates the government and minor parties on the positive effort to ensure this legislation was passed swiftly,” Ms Hailes said.

Ends.
