MAKING STRATA BETTER - WHAT'S CHANGING

Amended Strata Titles Act 1985 to commence 1 May 2020

Making strata better 

WA strata law and regulations are changing for the better – leading to important new requirements within our State’s strata framework that will apply to many Western Australians.

The WA Parliament passed amendments to the Strata Titles Act 1985 in 2018 to modernise how strata is run and managed and deliver a better strata framework for the future.

The amended Act will take effect in Western Australia on 1 May 2020 and introduce:

  • Better information for strata buyers
  • More efficient dispute resolution
  • A fairer process for scheme termination
  • Improvements to strata management
  • Leasehold strata as a new form of land title
  • More flexible staged subdivision

These are the most significant updates to our State’s strata system in over 20 years. Landgate, Western Australia’s land information authority, consulted with community, government and industry across many years to understand the most common issues being experienced within WA strata.

The reforms seek to resolve these issues and make strata clearer and fairer for the growing number of Western Australians who own, work or live in a strata property, as well as those looking to buy.
