The Debate
What different members said when this bill was debated:
Tim James LIB
“I lead for the Opposition on the Strata Legislation Amendment Bill 2023. The Liberal-Nationals welcome the reforms and support the bill. The Coalition left a strong reforming legacy which has a robust regulatory framework that ensures that strata schemes in New South Wales are sustainable, well managed and broadly working for owners.”
“I contribute to debate on the Strata Legislation Amendment Bill 2023. Strata laws in New South Wales are in dire need of updating. Although the recommendations that form the substance of the bill that we are considering today came from a statutory review conducted in 2021, it has taken a change of government for the reforms to be enacted and for much-needed movement in this space.”
Jenny Leong GRN
“On behalf of The Greens, I speak in support of the Strata Legislation Amendment Bill 2023. The bill makes a number of sensible amendments, many of which emerged from the 2021 statutory review of the Strata Schemes Development Act 2015 and the Strata Schemes Management Act 2015.”
Liza Butler ALP
“I support the Strata Legislation Amendment Bill 2023. This bill amends the Strata Schemes Development Act 2015, the Community Land Development Act 2021, the Community Land Management Act 2021, and related regulations.”
Sally Quinnell ALP
“I speak on the Strata Legislation Amendment Bill 2023. The bill amends the Strata Schemes Development Act 2015, the Strata Schemes Management Act 2015, the Community Land Development Act 2021 and the Community Land Management Act 2021, and the related regulations.”
Julia Finn ALP
“I make a contribution to debate in support of the Strata Legislation Amendment Bill 2023, which is really important for assisting the residents of almost one million strata lots across New South Wales. The bill implements 31 recommendations from the 2021 statutory review of the Strata Schemes Development Act and the Strata Schemes Management Act.”
David Saliba ALP
“I make a contribution in support of the Strata Legislation Amendment Bill 2023. The bill will make various amendments to the Strata Schemes Development Act 2015, the Strata Schemes Management Act 2015, the Community Land Development Act 2021 and the Community Land Management Act 2021.”
Marjorie O'Neill ALP
“I join in debate on the Strata Legislation Amendment Bill 2023. I am probably one of the members of this House who has the largest number of flats and apartments in their electorate, with 64 per cent of my electorate having apartments and flats.”
Warren Kirby ALP
“I speak in support of the Strata Legislation Amendment Bill 2023. Until recently Riverstone has not had many people living in strata; most of the housing is on quarter‑acre blocks or farms with acreage. However, as the electorate faces rapid growth, the five-acre blocks are being replaced with 500-unit towers. Many of my constituents have already begun living in housing with strata management.”
Jason Li ALP
“I make a contribution to debate on the Strata Legislation Amendment Bill 2023. Apartment living is becoming more and more popular. As we know, we are in the middle of a housing crisis. The direction of the Government is to contribute to solving that housing crisis by increasing density which, by definition, means there will be more apartments.”
Jihad Dib ALP
“I speak in support of the Strata Legislation Amendment Bill 2023. At the outset I acknowledge my colleague the outstanding Minister and member for Macquarie Fields. We share responsibility for part of this legislation, but obviously he has done a great deal of work, and I put the acknowledgement of his work on record.”
Edmond Atalla ALP
“Tonight I am pleased to represent the Minister for Better Regulation and Fair Trading. I thank members for their contributions to debate on the Strata Legislation Amendment Bill 2023, particularly the members for the electorates of Willoughby, Liverpool, Newtown, South Coast, Camden, Parramatta, Granville, Fairfield, Coogee, Riverstone, Strathfield and Bankstown.”

Strata Legislation Amendment Bill 2023
The Hon. MARK BUTTIGIEG — 2023-10-12
This bill implements 31 recommendations from the 2021 statutory review of the Strata Schemes Development Act 2015 and the Strata Schemes Management Act 2015. The bill delivers the first tranche of reforms to implement the review recommendations, providing immediate benefits to people who live in strata and community land schemes. The review, the first since the inception of these Acts in 2015, found that both Acts were generally working well. However, the review also found the Acts could be improved and made 139 reform recommendations. The review report was tabled by the former Government in November 2021, but stakeholders have been waiting nearly two years for action.
