The Legislative Assembly’s Standing Committee on Legal Affairs has commenced an inquiry into the management of unit title properties, more commonly known as strata properties.
The inquiry will focus on the application of the Unit Titles (Management) Act 2011 and will include
the role of strata managers, the roles and responsibilities of executive committee members, decision-making in strata developments, issues arising in mixed-use buildings, access to
sustainability initiatives by residents, and the potential for a Strata Commissioner in the ACT.
The Chair, Mr Peter Cain MLA, said ‘given a significant proportion of ACT residents live in a strata
property, an examination of how well they presently function is important. This is particularly
relevant given the ACT planning strategy aims to increase urban infill. Even more people will live in
apartments, townhouses and mixed-use developments.’
The Committee is now calling for submissions until 7 March 2025.
The Inquiry’s full Terms of Reference are available on the Committee website.
