Key takeaways from our latest Jamesons Webinar

The next stage of NSW strata law reforms came into effect on 27 October 2025, bringing some of the most significant updates to strata management in recent years.

To help owners and committees understand what’s changed — and how to stay compliant — our team hosted an exclusive webinar covering the five key areas of reform:

  • Enhanced Fair Trading enforcement for repairs and maintenance
  • Financial hardship assistance and new levy notice requirements
  • Standardised payment plans for overdue levies
  • Building manager duties and disclosure obligations
  • Expanded NCAT powers to end or change management agreements

These changes are designed to improve transparency, accountability, and fairness across NSW strata schemes — protecting owners while ensuring buildings are managed responsibly and safely.
