New South Wales implements a robust framework of stringent strata regulations that enhance transparency and accountability within strata management. Parliament recently approved these laws, which address concerns such as undisclosed conflicts of interest, excessive insurance commissions, and insufficient oversight in strata management. The reforms signify a significant effort by the state to update governance frameworks and improve digital management across various public sectors, particularly in property services.
Recent measures address growing concerns about strata management agents’ transparency, as many reportedly engage in covert activities such as accepting undisclosed kickbacks. NSW Minister for Better Regulation and Fair Trading Anoulack Chanthivong stated, “The government has wasted no time in tightening controls to respond to community concerns about accountability and conflicts of interest in the strata industry.”
The recent strata laws do more than introduce legislative changes; they actively contribute to a broader government initiative focused on enhancing public confidence and governance in the digital space. Public agencies like NSW Fair Trading enhance accountability and transparency in the property sector by boosting tools and adding resources. This transition significantly shapes Australia’s goal to update public services, leverage digital infrastructure, and enhance regulatory frameworks.
Chanthivong noted the broader importance of these changes: “These changes will help to restore the confidence of the 1.2 million people already living in strata schemes and change the perception that strata managing agents can take advantage of owners without consequences.”
