Strata Managers: Procedures and Training Obligations

On 3 February 2025, new laws commenced that impose on strata managers additional disclosure obligations to owners corporations they manage. Those new disclosure obligations are contained in section 60 of the Strata Schemes Management Act 2015.

NSW Fair Trading Compliance Monitoring

NSW Fair Trading is monitoring compliance of strata managers with those new disclosure obligations. In some cases, Fair Trading is issuing notices to strata managers requesting that they provide written procedures and training plans concerning the new disclosure obligations.

Written Procedures and Training Plan Obligations

We have prepared written procedures and training plans for strata managers concerning the new disclosure obligations. Those documents outline the procedures that strata managers will need to follow to comply with those new disclosure obligations, contain a training plan outlining how strata managers will train staff about the new disclosure obligations and also contain sample disclosure documents that can be used by strata managers in order to comply with the new disclosure obligations.

Assistance for Strata Managers

If you are a strata manager and you need assistance preparing written procedures or training plans in order to comply with the new disclosure obligations, or to respond to any notices issued by NSW Fair Trading, please do not hesitate to contact us.

We can make available our pricing schedule for supplying written procedures and training plans to you on request.
