Strata dispute trends

Matters per year

Decisions naming a strata scheme as a party, by the year they were decided. The most recent year is still filling.

What each state's record is about

The dispute mix differs by state, and so does how deep the record runs. Each bar is one jurisdiction's matters split by what the dispute was about. Read the shape, not the height, across states: depth tracks how much of each tribunal we have harvested, not how litigious a state is.

Dispute trend by council

Each council's matters over the last 12 years, with its recent momentum, the schemes involved, and what the disputes are most about. Sort and filter to find where pressure is building.
