COVID-19 changes to strata and community laws
In response to the impact of COVID-19 on strata and community schemes, the NSW Government has made temporary changes to the law to give schemes the flexibility they need to function.
From Friday, 5 June 2020, strata and community land laws have been changed so owners corporations and community associations can:
- meet and vote at general and committee meetings electronically
- provide an alternative to affixing the common seal so documents can be validly executed with electronic signatures
- have more time to hold the first annual general meeting for new schemes and to determine how to reimburse money transferred from one fund to another.
These laws will be in place for six months to help strata and community associations manage their responsibilities during COVID-19.
