September 2023 – Strata Regulatory Watch
In this edition we cover: NSW: Final version of the Fire Safety Schedule NSW : Update on strata management legislation Press release : Welcome to Gerard Doyle, our new NSW…
The Conveyancing (Sale of Land) Regulation 2022 commenced on 1 September 2022 and replaced the Conveyancing (Sale of Land) Regulation 2017 which has now been repealed.
The Regulations have been amended to simplify structure and readability, which means many section numbers have changed from the 2017 Regulations.
One of the more substantive changes to the Regulations are:
The Regulations contain a 6-month transitional period. From 1 September 2022 until 28 February 2023, anything done in connection with a contract that complies with the 2017 Regulations will be taken to comply with the 2022 Regulations. This transitional provision will assist in circumstances where a contract has been prepared prior to 1 September 2022 but exchanged during the transition period.
