Renovate Right: What Every Committee Needs to Know About Strata Renovations

Renovation requests are one of the most common and most mishandled issues facing strata committees today. Get it wrong and your scheme faces disputes, NCAT orders, and costly rectification bills.

‍

This webinar cuts through the confusion. In just 60 minutes, you'll walk away knowing exactly how to handle any renovation request that lands on your committee's desk, from a resident wanting to repaint their walls to a full bathroom gut-and-rebuild.

‍

A copy of the question and answers is available below.

‍

In this session, we cover:

• The three renovation categories under the Strata Schemes Management Act 2015 (NSW), cosmetic, minor, and major, and how to tell them apart
• What your by-laws must provide for, and how to plug the gaps
• Why waterproofing is the highest-risk issue in strata renovations (and why bathroom tiles are not as simple as they look)
• The committee's powers and limits, what you can approve, what you can't, and what happens if you get it wrong
• When matters must go to a general meeting and what resolution threshold applies
• Changes to common property, the approval process, maintenance responsibility, and owner consent requirements
• Real NCAT precedents that every committee member should know
