08.05.2022 Swimming pool registers: reminder From Friday 29 April 2016, vendors of a property with a swimming or spa pool must have a certificate showing whether or not their pool fencing is compliant with the Swimming Pools Act 1992. Remember this is about Pool Safety. The recent amendments relate to the conveyancing and leasing practice, they are not amendments to the obligation to have a pool compliance certificate.

08.04.2022 The Government has released draft regulations to the Home Building Amendment Act 2014 which provide for operation of that Act to commence on 1 December 2014. A number of organisations made submissions to the Government in relation to those regulations and a final start date has not yet been confirmed. Anyone with a defect claim: # which is not yet the subject of litigation or an insurance claim;... # where more than 2 years has elapsed since the date of completion of the building work; and # relying on the defects being structural within the terms of the existing regulations should immediately seek legal advice to confirm whether those defects will be covered as a major defect under the new legislation.

29.03.2022 Media Release: Court removes strata schemes rights A recent High Court decision between a serviced apartment strata scheme and its builder (Brookfield Multiplex) has found that strata property owners have no rights against builders (and others) in the tort of negligence for defective building work. Strata Community Australia (NSW) President, Greg Haywood, said the effect of this case is far reaching and will impact on many owners’ corporations by extinguishing any rights to ...sue in negligence for defective building work in commercial, retail or industrial complexes. This decision impacts on many of our members (owners) and the industry generally. The problem is that many of our members (and those buying into these developments) are mum and dad investors who do not have the same sophistication as the developers and builders that are involved in them, Mr Haywood said. What we need to see is a fair playing field and defective work repaired by those that caused the defect and this is why we need laws protecting consumers so they are not caught having to pay thousands to right a builders wrong. The Court found that an owner’s corporation was not vulnerable when a commercial building was built and that any rights that did exist were between the developer and the builder and later between the developer and the first unit owners who purchased into the complex. It found that the individuals who purchased first (generally off the plan) were in a position to bargain for any items they wished including warranties for defective work. If they did not get a reasonable bargain they couldn’t complain about defects later (through the owner’s corporations rights). SCA (NSW) is calling on the NSW Government to urgently introduce legislation to ensure that the High Court decision does not affect other consumers as it has in this case. We will be raising the issue with the Minister for Fair Trading, the Hon. Matthew Mason-Cox, MLC, and seeking his assurance that consumer rights will be protected through the Parliament, as a matter of urgency. With over half a trillion dollars of property assets under strata management across Australia this decision will not assist owners in protecting their rights to have faulty works rectified. See more
