Fire or cladding matter on record
A matter touches fire safety or cladding. Combustible cladding rectification is among the largest special-levy risks for apartment owners.
-
3 litigation matters on record
Tribunal and court decisions naming this scheme as a party. A litigious building is more likely to be carrying unresolved disputes, defects, or levy fights.
-
Building-defect dispute on record
A matter touches building defects or rectification work. Ask whether the work is funded and whether the builder's warranty still applies.
Statutory warranty: structural cover likely expired (est. 5 May 2007); non-structural ran to 5 May 2007. A single 7-year warranty period applies because the scheme was registered before the 1 February 2012 reform. Estimated from the registration date, not the completion date or building contract, so treat the dates as indicative.
-
No recent annual reporting on the Strata Hub
We could not find a current annual return for this scheme on the NSW Strata Hub. That may just be a gap in the public data, but a non-reporting scheme can also signal a disengaged committee, ask for the last two AGM minutes.
Cost exposure
Severe exposureAn indicative, itemised estimate of what one lot here could face, built only from this scheme's public-record signals. Indicative ranges, not this building's actual figures, and not financial advice.
Special levies are apportioned by unit entitlement. Set this from your contract; 1.0× is an average lot.
| Driver | Good | Expected | Worst |
|---|---|---|---|

Estimate only. Figures are indicative ranges from public remediation programs and reporting, apportioned to one lot; they are not this building's costed works and not financial advice. Obtain the capital works fund balance, any special levy resolved or proposed, and a strata records search before you transact.

Appeal
Decisions naming this scheme as a party, from NSW Caselaw (NCAT and the courts). The line beneath each matter is the decision's own catchwords, quoted; the topic tag is our grouping of those words and reads "Other" when they do not clearly fit, so you can always check it against the source. Every matter links to the full decision. Whether a matter helped or hurt the scheme is not assessed here.

What was checked, what it found, how strong the match, and when each source last ran. A source that has not run here yet reads as not checked, never as checked and clear. The unknowns the public registers structurally cannot show stay named, so silence above is never read as a clean bill.
