Strata and community title are the fastest growing areas of property law. Over one million people in NSW currently live in strata developments and in Sydney, 70% of new urban development in years to come will be high or medium density. The law relating to strata and community title raises fascinating questions, both theoretical and practical. Should people be able to ban their neighbours owning pets or putting up political posters? How can we create workable legislation that governs developments as diverse as townhouses, business parks and tourist resorts? This course will look at a range of issues affecting strata and community title, including consumer protection, management contracts, redevelopment of old strata, tourist developments, dispute resolution and legislative reform. Legislation regarding strata and community title will be examined, as well as a critical evaluation of the sociology of community living. There will be guest lectures from strata and community title practitioners.
