Public record: 2 in-force building-work orders and 1 tribunal matter. An order signals serious defects or cladding and often precedes a special levy, so the report and a section 184 strata search matter even more here.
- 2 in-force building-work orders on the NSW Building Commission register
- 1 tribunal or court matter, the most serious about building defects
- $32,100 indicative cost exposure per lot, elevated band

2 in-force building-work orders
The NSW Building Commission has an active order on this scheme (rectification). Prohibition, rectification, and stop-work orders cover serious defects and combustible cladding, and often precede a special levy.

1 litigation matter 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. 1 September 2022); non-structural ran to 1 September 2018. NSW Home Building Act periods: 6 years for major or structural defects, 2 years for all others. 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
Elevated 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.

Questions to ask before you bid
- 1
Is the Building Commission order still in force, and how will the rectification be funded?
Because this scheme has an active building-work order.
- 2
What building defects have been identified, is there a funded rectification plan, and does the builder's warranty still apply?
Because we found a building-defect dispute on record.
- 3
What is the capital works (sinking) fund balance, its adequacy ratio, and the 10-year plan?
- 4
Are any special levies raised, proposed, or scoped-but-not-yet-levied?
