Strata living in Australia has surged in popularity, especially in metropolitan areas where housing demand is high. If you’re renting an apartment, a townhouse, or even an office space, there’s a significant chance you’re living in a strata property. But how well do you really understand strata living?

As New South Wales (NSW) evolves, important changes to strata laws are on the way. These reforms, starting on 1 July 2025, are designed to better meet the needs of residents in apartments, townhouses, villas, and duplexes. It's essential that everyone connected with these communities understands what these changes mean for them.

Community schemes and strata schemes are becoming increasingly popular in urban areas. While they may appear similar at first, they have unique characteristics and purposes.
