Multiple outlets report that concerns about NSW apartment strata reform persist after an independent review of the sector. The articles say the government’s response has not delivered timely or adequate changes, leaving owners without the consumer protections that the review recommended. Across the reporting, critics argue that key reform measures are not progressing as expected, which they say increases owners’ vulnerability to poor or predatory conduct by some strata participants, including situations involving misconduct, underperformance, or exploitation in strata management and governance.
The outlets describe the government’s approach as falling short of what the review sought, characterising the response as weak or insufficient and noting that protections are being delayed or deferred. While the specific policy details and timelines are not included in the provided excerpts, the common thread is that the reform process has not yet produced the safeguards recommended by the review. The reporting focuses on the impact on apartment owners, who continue to operate under the existing strata framework while reform proposals remain unresolved.
