For something a little different, follow Will Marquand's quick weekly blasts about very relevant strata matters. Take a look via the Tower Body Corporate Facebook page. So far his year, he's already covered the following:
  • A shooting at a strata complex in Melbourne should give owners with disputes pause for thought.
  • Low supply and high demand in the construction industry will lead to higher costs for body corporate owners.
  • With interest rates set to rise should your scheme take out a term deposit?
  • Ask not what your body corporate manager can do for you, but what you can do for your body corporate manager. A quick communication tip.
