Our recent AGM agenda did not reference the meeting’s date, time or location. Is this a Strata Titles Act 1985 requirement? Is the omission of this information a breach of the legislation? It is my opinion that any so held meeting can be challenged as null and void.
Yes, I believe this is a breach of the legislation.
The notice requirements for all General Meetings are outlined in Section 129 of the Strata Titles Act 1985 as amended 2018:
129. Notice requirements for all general meetings
1. All owners of lots in a strata titles scheme and first mortgagees of those lots must be given at least 14 days’ notice of every general meeting of the strata company for the scheme.
2. The notice must include —
a. the date, time and venue of the meeting; and
b. for an annual general meeting, notice of each item of business referred to in section 127(3); and
c. for special business, notice of the general nature of that business; and
d. notice of each method of voting, whether by means of an electronic communication or otherwise, that is acceptable to the strata company.
3. Accidental omission to give notice of a general meeting to the owner or first mortgagee of a lot or non-receipt of the notice by the owner or first mortgagee of a lot does not invalidate any proceedings at the meeting.
4. The owner of a lot may give written notice to a member of the council of the strata company of an item of business that the owner requires to be included on the agenda for a general meeting of the strata company and that item must be included on the agenda for the meeting and notice must be given of that item as an item of special business under subsection (2)(c).
The Strata Titles Act 1985 as amended 2018 only makes provision in case the notice of a general meeting is not being received or accidentally omitted; however, the Act is clear in the regard that at least 14 days’ notice must be given and what such a notice must include.
If the notice period is not being complied with and the notice does not stipulate a date, time or venue as so required, it is my opinion that any so held meeting can be challenged as null and void.
I recommend legal advice is sought in that regard.

If we had a partial loss of rent due to water damage, can we file a claim with the strata insurance to recoup the partially lost rent?
Due to recent water damage in our unit, we’ve experienced a partial loss of rent associated with a common property leak. As the damage only affected one bedroom, we had to reduce the rent because of the loss of amenity. Unfortunately, our insurance doesn’t cover a partial loss of income. Could we file a claim with the owners corporation to recoup the lost rent?
This process determines whether the owners corporation’s actions, or lack thereof, directly contributed to the damage, thereby establishing their liability.
A lot owner has the right to submit a legal demand to the owners corporation if they suspect the owners corporation’s negligence, such as failing to maintain common property, has led to damage, e.g., a leak originating from common areas. In response to such a demand, the owners corporation can pursue a claim under the public liability section of their insurance policy. The decision to accept or deny this claim will then rest with the insurer, who will evaluate the circumstances against legal principles of negligence. This process determines whether the owners corporation’s actions, or lack thereof, directly contributed to the damage, thereby establishing their liability.
To submit a demand, the lot owner must prepare a letter to the owners corporation. This letter should include:
• The date and specifics of the incident causing the loss.
• An explanation of why the lot owner deems the owners corporation liable or negligent.
• A detailed summary of the costs incurred, supported by invoices, rental ledgers, or other relevant documentation.
• Instructions on where the compensation should be paid.
In this particular instance, before proceeding with a demand against the owners corporation, the lot owner should revisit the property damage claim first. Specifically, the owner should query the insurer regarding the partial coverage decision, emphasising the impact of partial occupancy associated
with rental loss. Insurance policies often cover scenarios of partial loss of use, so it’s possible that further discussion or clarification of the policy terms could lead to a more favourable outcome regarding loss of rent coverage.

Trust and transparency in Strata management: a reminder for WA.
Recent industry reports have brought attention to questionable practices within the strata industry, particularly on the East Coast.
While these reports highlight issues outside of Western Australia, they serve as an important reminder of the responsibility strata managers have to act with integrity and transparency.
The strata industry plays a vital role in managing properties and ensuring that owners are confident their interests are protected.
As a property owner or member of a strata community, you’ve entrusted your strata manager with the responsibility of overseeing your building’s operations, finances, and compliance with legal standards.
This trust relies on transparency and professional conduct at every step.
“Strata management is built on a foundation of trust and transparency,” says Luke Downie, head of Strata management and business development manager at Realmark Strata.
“Our clients deserve to know that every decision made is in their best interest, and we work hard to uphold that responsibility every day.”
Reports of alleged mismanagement in other parts of the country are concerning but reinforce the need for industry-wide adherence to ethical standards.
At Realmark Strata, we take these reminders seriously. We are committed to maintaining the
highest levels of transparency, professionalism, and service, and as proud members of the Strata Community Association (SCA), we adhere to a comprehensive Code of Conduct that reflects our commitment to ethical practices.
This includes full transparency around our processes and emphasises our broader responsibility to act in your best interest.
If you would like to learn more about how we maintain transparency in our services, don’t hesitate to contact us at 08 9328 0999.
We are here to ensure your confidence in the management of your property is well-placed, today and into the future.

Our strata company is currently reviewing its by-laws. Can we have assistance developing a by-law for smoking, EV and lithium-ion battery charging and overcrowding.
Our strata company is currently reviewing its by-laws. We have a by-law for smoking, but residents continue to smoke in apartments and on their balconies, causing nuisance and hazards to health. We need a new by-law to stop smoking/vaping of tobacco and other products on the entire strata premises.
Is a by-law available for EV charging and lithium-ion battery charging? We want a by-law stating that lithium-ion battery charging can only occur outside apartments/garages and in a designated area due to fire/smoke hazards.
We also like a by-law to ensure too many people do not use apartments, e.g. eight people in a three bedroom apartment.
Are you aware of any information on these issues to assist our strata company to ensure we can formulate by-laws for these outcomes?
We would strongly recommend appointing an experienced strata lawyer to draft the proposed by-laws.
It is possible for by-laws to be drafted in relation to each of these issues. We would strongly recommend appointing an experienced strata lawyer to draft the proposed by-laws so that they are specific to the particular scheme and the issues that the scheme wants to address. This is because there are many different options for these kinds of by-laws. A strata lawyer can also provide advice as to the type of resolution/s that would be required, which will vary depending upon the terms of the by-laws as drafted.

Are strata owners entitled to more details about a $45,000 expenditure from the reserve fund for balcony repairs, especially when council members’ lots are involved?
Our AGM notice had an expenditure of $45K from the reserve fund. The reserve fund notes cement rendering of upper floors and waterproofing of two balconies.
No other details are provided regarding what the balcony issues were, what the work will comprise, quotes for the works, time frames to complete, etc.
Are owners entitled to more details, especially as the works in question will be carried out on council members’ lots?
A formal request can be made to the council of owners to provide further information on the budget item so that all owners can make an informed decision.
Yes, owners have the right to ask for more details about this spending decision so they can make an informed decision.
While the Strata Titles Act 1985 does not explicitly require detailed information on the AGM agenda for this specific expenditure, it is advisable for the council to provide sufficient detail to enable owners to make informed decisions.
For example, information such as what specific balcony issues exist, the scope of the work, time frames, and quotes should ideally be included. This transparency not only aids decision-making but also helps prevent potential accusations of improper conduct or conflicts of interest
This is particularly important when the repairs are for lots owned by council members. In such cases, it is in the council’s best interests to provide further details and ensure owners are well-informed, as this promotes fairness and avoids perceptions of bias or preferential treatment.
Council of owners’ members have a duty to act with honesty, loyalty, and in good faith. They must disclose any conflicts of interest, whether pecuniary or otherwise, and abstain from voting on matters where such a conflict exists. However, it should be noted that merely being an owner of a lot does not in itself constitute a conflict of interest.
A formal request can be made to the council of owners (via the strata manager, if one is appointed) to provide further information on the budget item so that all owners can make an informed decision. This information should be shared with all owners prior to voting on this item at the Annual General Meeting.

Can a strata scheme create a by-law to ban smart meter installations, and if so, what voting requirement is needed?
Our small strata scheme has eight units, each with its old-style electrical meter in a common area. One owner wants to create a new by-law that prohibits the installation of smart meters. Is this possible, or would it conflict with the existing by-laws or regulations regarding utility services? If such a by-law can be introduced, what voting requirement is necessary for the by-law’s approval?
Whether the by-law complies with the Act or any other law will depend on the exact content of the by-law.
Damien
Moran, EnergyTec:
We cannot reply regarding whether it can legally be introduced as a by-law. However, we recommend the owner does not pursue this as there are changes proposed to the Electricity Industry (Alternative Electricity Services) Amendment Bill 2023, which involves an Embedded Networks Code of Practice. This is set to become mandatory in 2025 and allows customers (i.e. lot owners) to request an interval (advanced) meter at the supply address. It is our understanding that any by-laws would not supersede this, and all embedded networks would have to comply with the new Code of Practice.
For more information, please refer to: Western Australian Government: Voluntary Embedded Networks Code of Practice
Jason O’Meara, McWilliams Davis Lawyers:
The basis for the owner’s opposition to smart meters being installed within the strata scheme and the content of a scheme by-law will be an important factor in determining the validity of the proposed by-law.
Under Section 63(4) of the Strata Titles Act 1985 (WA), a strata company must not interfere or permit interference with a utility service provided by means of utility conduits in a way that may prejudice the use or enjoyment of a lot or the common property, other than:
a. in the reasonable exercise of rights under a utility service easement of which it has the benefit; or
b. in the performance of its function of controlling and managing common property in the scheme.
Any interference by a strata company with a utility service provided by means of a utility conduit (which is likely to include the implementation of a by-law) must only be exercising the rights of a strata company under a utility service easement of which the strata company has the benefit or in the performance of its function of controlling and managing the common property in the scheme.
Whether such a by-law complies with Section 63(4) of the Strata Titles Act 1985 (WA) or any other law will depend on the exact content of the by-law.
There is a risk that such a by-law could be held to be invalid for various reasons, including:
• that the by-law is inconsistent with the Strata Titles Act 1985 (WA) or another written law;
• to the extent that the by-law purports to discharge or modify an easement; or
• having regard to the interests of all the owners of the lots in the scheme and the use and enjoyment of their lot, that the by-law is oppressive or unreasonable.
An owner considering such a by-law (or a strata company that receives such a proposal) should obtain legal advice on the proposed by-law’s validity, as the individual circumstances of each strata scheme will apply and affect the outcome of any advice.

Should strata reimburse me if my car is damaged in the common property car park?
The owner in the next bay damaged my car in a common property car park. They never told me they’d caused the damage but told someone else. I paid to fix the car. Can I request that strata reimburse me for the cost of repairing the damage to the car?
The strata corporation’s responsibility typically revolves around maintaining common property and ensuring safety, not resolving disputes between individual owners or tenants.
Generally, a strata corporation is only held responsible for damage if found negligent or otherwise legally responsible (for example in legislation). In this situation, there doesn’t seem to be any indication that the strata corporation was negligent or played a role in causing the damage to the vehicle. Therefore, they likely wouldn’t be responsible for reimbursing the repair costs.
This issue appears to be between the two vehicle owners. Since the other owner has admitted to someone else that they caused the damage, the best course of action would be to make a claim against the responsible driver.
Consider contacting them directly to discuss reimbursement or, if necessary, seek legal advice on how to proceed with recovering your costs. Additionally, if you have comprehensive car insurance, you might also consider contacting your insurer to see if they can assist with the claim process.
Remember, the strata corporation’s responsibility typically revolves around maintaining common property and ensuring safety, not resolving disputes between individual owners or tenants.

Can a strata manager charge the strata company for the time they spend assisting an individual owner with their records inspection? One of our owners visits the strata manager’s office monthly to review the records. If the strata company’s agreed services do not include record inspections, they need to pay the strata manager to prepare and attend to these requests.
Yes. The strata manager can charge for the time taken to prepare and attend to an inspection of records, as this would be included in the strata management agreement. A lot owner is entitled to do an inspection of records under the Strata Titles Act. However, preparing these records in both digital and hard copy formats can be time-consuming.
Generally, the strata manager will have an agreed services section and an additional services section in their strata management contract. If an inspection of records is not in their agreed services, the strata company will need to pay the strata manager to prepare and attend to record inspections. If a lot owner continuously requests to attend and inspect records, it places a burden and cost on the strata company each time. If the strata company does not want to pay the strata manager for the inspection of records, the council of owners / secretary of the scheme might need to decide if one of its members is willing to handle record preparation and inspections.
Jamie Horner | Empire Estate Agents JHorner@empireestateagents.com
what our clients have to say...
Professional, friendly, knowledgeable and dedicated team in helping those in need. I wish I had known them earlier.
Salina’s always responsive and professional. I can already vouch Empire Estate is far better (more competent; more communicative; more proactive) than the previous strata managers/ companies we’ve had. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Empire for strata management - keep up the great work!
I’m surprised by how actively Empire estate has replied me to on New Year’s Day and took their time out to explain to me what went wrong with my strata complex and the strata levies. They helped me to understand how levies work and especially making suggestions, even though they do not manage the strata complex. It is hard to find genuinely good people who care. I do highly recommend Jamie Horner, Salina and her team for taking the time out of their busy schedule to explain what went wrong.
Daryl moved into a volatile environment and has worked well through it all. This is where Daryl shone and I believe through that initial work our building politics will settle and 2023 will be a much more productive year for us all.
charging stalemate: What can I do about council resistance?

I own a Tesla and live in a complex of 70 apartments over 17 levels. I am also on the COO. I have been discussing EV charging for over six months and have formally requested exclusive use of an individually metered 15a powerpoint for slow charging. This has not been approved, and the council are against it (with one threatening to resign if approved). They are suggesting a vote for an AGM in about six months. The request is simple and does not breach any by-laws, and the insurer has confirmed it won’t impact our insurance premiums. What’s the best way to get an outcome if all other council members are unwilling to
commit and continually delay a decision? Until they reject my request outright, it is almost impossible to go via SAT.
There are many considerations before approving an installation for the sole use of a lot.
Changes to the Strata Titles Act 1985 came into effect in 2020 that purposefully made it easier for strata companies to approve applications encouraging sustainability infrastructure. There are many considerations before approving an installation for the sole use of a lot.
• Is your scheme taking an individual, shared or whole of building approach?
• Which approach is fair and equitable for all owners should further infrastructure be required in future?
• Who will pay for any required capital upgrades?
• Who will own and maintain the EV supply equipment?
• What load control is required?
Noting you have taken the first step of discussing the EV charging installation with your fellow councillors and have not obtained the result you were hoping to achieve, we recommend you formalise the application by resolution at a general meeting of the strata company.
Seeking out legal advice before applying to all owners via a general meeting is strongly encouraged to ensure you are aware of what motions you will need on notice and how your by-laws (current or proposed) support your application while ensuring they benefit all owners now and into the future.

Rawlinsons Australian Construction Handbook is the most comprehensive construction cost database in Australia Our publications are used extensively by valuers, quantity surveyors and builders to help compile an accurate replacement value for buildings They are an essential tool for anyone in the construction industry.
The starting point is to identify the relevant building type from the ‘Building Cost Per Square Metre’ Pages 19-47 A range is provided which covers the cost for the building Fully Enclosed Covered Area (FECA) Additionally, an appropriate cost for Unenclosed Covered Area (UCA) must be included for balconies, awnings and the like.
External works and services costs can then be estimated using either the ‘Elemental Comparative Costs’ Pages 107-169 and/or the ‘Detailed Prices’ Pages 171- 743 This should cover; site preparation, hard and soft landscaping and external building services such as sewer pumping stations, external lighting and stormwater drainage
Demolition costs can be calculated using the demolition trade in the ‘Detailed Pricing’ section Pages 205-210 which provides costs for demolishing various building structures.
Appropriate percentage allowances can be found in the ‘Professional Fees’ section on Page 922 of the publication to cover design and documentation services
Should the property be in a regional location, users can utilise Rawlinson’s ‘Regional Indices’ Pages 833 - 844 to uplift the base cost.
All costs should be adjusted appropriately to cover sloping sites, ESD allowances, adverse ground conditions and other unique characteristics
If the owners in my survey strata have a meeting and vote yes to a reserve fund, but I vote no, do I have to contribute financially?
I live in a survey strata of six lots. We share a common driveway. During the nine years I have owned the block, the owners have never mentioned strata. We’ve never had any meetings, etc. We essentially operate as stand-alone houses.
Our next-door neighbour has been talking about strata and wants to start having meetings and setting up a reserve fund. I’m against contributing financially as I’m struggling to make ends meet.
If we have a meeting and other owners vote yes, but I vote no, can they still make me contribute financially?
Contributions are required to cover the common property.
Whether the strata scheme is a Survey-Strata Plan or a Strata Plan, both are governed by the Strata Titles Act 1985 (STA).
Two lot strata schemes are automatically exempted from having meetings. Three to five lot schemes must register a by-law to be specifically exempted from the requirement of having meetings, books of accounts, budgets and levies.
You state that your scheme is a survey-strata, so each owner is responsible for maintaining their building.
If required, contributions are need to cover the common property, i.e. the driveway, possibly gardens and driveway lighting, reticulation. The big question is, what is the sinking fund used for in this type of strata scheme?
A budget and financial obligations are voted on at a General Meeting and this is done by a majority vote. This particular scheme is not 10 lots or more, so a 10 year plan is not required.

QWho is responsible for excessive water bills caused by a running toilet in an unoccupied unit? Can we ask the owner to supply the strata manager with a key to the unit for future maintenance issues?
A running toilet in an unoccupied unit has caused our water bills to skyrocket. Due to this issue, we’ve paid approximately $1,500 in excessive water charges. Our building has two separate water meters: one for units 1-8 and another for units 9-17. Our strata manager doesn’t have access to the problem unit. A plumber has temporarily shut off the water supply to the unit.
Our committee treasurer noticed the unusually high water bill and informed the strata manager, who was slow to respond.
Despite repeated reminders, scheduling a plumber took an unreasonable amount of time. During this time, we received a third exorbitant water bill. Who is liable for these excessive fees? Should the unit owner be responsible? Can the strata manager also be held accountable for the delay in addressing the problem? Can we insist that a key be kept with the strata manager for access to the unit, especially since it’s rarely occupied?
AIt would be beneficial for the unit owner to provide a key to a trusted neighbour or friend for emergencies or maintenance.
I understand your concerns regarding the increased water bills due to the running toilet in the unoccupied unit and the actions taken by the strata management.
Under the Strata Titles Act 1985 (WA) and your strata scheme’s by-laws, the strata company is generally responsible for common property maintenance unless otherwise stated. However, if the issue is confined to a specific unit, the owner may be liable for excess charges, especially if the problem was within their control and not due to the strata company’s negligence. The owner may be liable as the leak occurred within a private unit and went undetected due to its unoccupied status. It’s important to review this in line with your by-laws and seek legal advice.
Strata Manager’s Responsibility:
The strata manager acted upon the committee treasurer’s notification, though the delay in addressing the issue is regrettable. The manager’s actions were based on the committee’s instructions, and any delays should be reviewed in the context of communication processes and the strata manager’s duty to act in the strata company’s best interest.
Access to the Unit:
It would be beneficial for the unit owner to provide a key to a trusted neighbour or friend for emergencies or maintenance. If the owner is unwilling, the strata company may consider amending its by-laws to require access provision, subject to legal advice and a resolution passed by the owners.
Conclusion:
To resolve this matter, I recommend:
1. Seeking legal advice on the excess water charges.
2. Reviewing communication processes to ensure timely responses to maintenance issues.
3. Discussing the importance of providing access for efficient property management with the unit owner.

Can we set up a sub-committee to provide independent maintenance advice to the strata council? Does this infringe any strata laws?
We’d like to create a group of owners in our apartment complex to provide independent maintenance advice to the strata council. Does this infringe any strata laws?
The group would assist the council by providing help and advice regarding repair or replacement strategies, methods and procedures, including related expenses and budget requirements. Focused on the best outcome for the strata company, all assistance provided would be at no cost or obligation.
Participants in the group would be qualified and competent in their respective fields, with relevant knowledge and experience of plant and equipment and building maintenance issues.
An advisory committee could help alleviate some of the burdens on the voluntary workload for council.
Nothing within the Strata Titled Act would prevent a council from setting up such an arrangement.
It is common for councils to set up subcommittees made up from inside its existing members. However, as you are referring to a group of non-elected members, I think it would be important to ensure the utilisation of this type of group by council was in a manner that does not cross or intervene with the council of owner’s statutory obligations. It would also be advisable that the council took measures to ensure that some of those obligations were extended (although not by statute but by process and expectation) to the advisory group, in particular:
• must always act honestly, with loyalty and in good faith.
• must always exercise the degree of care and diligence in the person’s position and the circumstances of the strata company would reasonably be expected to exercise.
• must not make improper use of the person’s position to gain, directly or indirectly, an advantage for the person or any other person; or to cause detriment to the strata company.
• disclose any conflicts of interest.
I would also think it important for council to ensure that this advisory committee:
• Is qualified to provide the advice being given or is obtaining the advice from a person or entity that is qualified to provide the advice and
• Is provided with sufficient information or scope as to its role to be able to deliver the relevant advice to council and
• The role, process and procedure of the advisory committee is documented, and
• If attending meetings of council, it is clear they are in attendance in an advisory capacity and hold no decision making or voting right.
With these points covered, an advisory committee could help alleviate some of the burdens on the voluntary workload for council.

Recycling in strata communities is crucial for both environmental sustainability and community well-being. Effective recycling programs can significantly reduce waste, conserve resources, and promote a cleaner living environment.
Many local councils and organisations across Western Australia have implemented successful recycling programs aimed at reducing waste and promoting sustainable practices.
Folks, let’s talk trash – literally! Did you know that back in 2018-2019, a whopping 85% of plastics tossed out in Australia ended up in landfills? And in WA, only a tiny 5.6% of plastics were actually recovered for recycling. Yikes!
Things got even trickier when China decided to slam the brakes on importing post-consumer plastics in 2017. This move shook up the global recycling game big time. But Australia didn’t just sit around. Nope, we rolled out the Recycling and Waste Reduction Bill in 2020 to keep unprocessed waste from being shipped out willy-nilly.
And that’s not all! The Aussie Government also kicked off the Recycling Modernisation Fund (RMF) to supercharge our local waste processing setup. It’s all about turning our recycling woes into wins.
Starting a recycling program in your community, whether it’s a small strata or a large apartment building, can be super effective with the right approach.
For small strata communities, kick things off with clear recycling guidelines and engage residents through workshops and informational materials. Sharing success stories from other communities can also boost participation.
Larger apartment buildings need a bit more planning—make sure recycling bins are accessible and clearly labelled, and hold regular educational sessions to keep everyone informed and motivated.
Containers for Change, encourages residents to recycle beverage containers by offering a refund for each container returned. This program has been effective in reducing litter and promoting recycling habits. Additionally, Containers for Change Collect is a convenient pick-up-on-demand service that makes it easier than ever for workplaces, restaurants, bars, cafés, and households to return 10¢ containers.

The Food Organics Garden Organics (FOGO) recycling system is coming, and if it’s not yet in your local area, it will be soon. The State Government has pledged to have this system implemented across all local governments by 2025.
The FOGO system uses three bins to separate landfill, recycling, and organic wastes. The separated organic waste is then used to create
high-quality compost, which is often utilised by local councils for various community projects and green spaces. To implement FOGO in strata communities:
• Educate Residents: Provide information on the benefits and methods of separating organic waste. This WA Government website has resources to use: https://lga.wastesorted.wa.gov.au/gardenorganics.
• Provide Resources: Ensure residents have access to appropriate bins and composting facilities. Containers for Change have a host of resources available on their website to assist your strata community in the initiative. Check out their free downloads for you to use https://shopwa. containersforchange.com.au/shop/productcategory/posters-signage.
• Encourage Participation: Use incentives and regular reminders to maintain high participation rates.
