Change is coming to the Strata Titles Act 1985 (WA)
(the Act) in Western Australia which will bring
the Act into line with development of community title schemes and
Strata Title legislation and management practices that have been
implemented in NSW and other eastern states of Australia.
Why the Change
By 2031, it is predicted Western Australia will be home to more
than 3.5 million people putting substantial pressure on existing
urban infrastructure. There is a growing demand for greater urban
infill and more diverse living options.
The mooted changes to the Act are intended to make the use of
strata title developments more flexible, cost-effective for urban
infill developments, functional for community living options and
provide more effective dispute resolution processes for existing
and future schemes.
