CHANGES TO THE STRATA TITLE ACT
MAJOR REFORM TO WA STRATA LAW WILL COMMENCE | 1 MAY 2020
Strata laws are changing for the better. Western Australian Parliament passed amendments to the Strata Titles Amendment Act 2018, and we will see these come into effect on May 1st 2020.
These are the most significant changes to WA’s Strata framework in over 30 years and will make strata clearer and fairer for people, professionals and industries involved with residential and commercial strata. The reform will modernise the way strata schemes are run and seek to bring the Act up to date with modern, more efficient management practices.
The Strata Titles Amendment Act 2018 will introduce:
-
Better information for prospective strata buyers
-
A fairer process for scheme termination
-
Improving strata management
-
Efficient dispute resolution
-
Changes to scheme development, subdivision & planning
-
Introducing leasehold strata
Experience impossible
to match.
Our experience in strata management is unsurpassed. We’ll share our specialist knowledge with you so you can get on with the more important things in life. You can trust Empire with the finances and admin and by using our licensed services, you’re protected by an audited trust account and fidelity fund guarantee.
WHO IS QUALIFIED TO MANAGE YOUR STRATA?
In Western Australia, strata law does not require a strata manager to be registered, nor do they have to hold a relevant licence. Strata management can seem like a bit of a free-for-all, with anyone able to anoint themselves a Strata Manager. But the truth is, you CAN expect that same level of accountability, security and regulation from your strata manager.
THE WAY TO DO THIS? SIMPLE.
Choose a strata management company that is also a licenced real estate agency.

STRATA MANAGEMENT FAQS
STRATA MANAGEMENT TESTIMONIALS
“...I’m surprised by how actively Empire estate has replied me 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 help 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 Ng and her team for taking the time out of their busy schedule to explain what went wrong. Professional, friendly, knowledgeable and dedicated team in helping those in need. I wish I have known them earlier.” A Pui
