Confused by the 2025 NSW Strata Laws? This Sydney Strata Law Firm Has the Answers
Sydney, Australia - October 1, 2025 / PBL Law Group /
With the recent implementation of significant new strata regulations in NSW, many Owners Corporations and residents are finding it challenging to grasp their updated rights and responsibilities. This confusion, recently emphasized in the Sydney Morning Herald, has led to a pressing demand for straightforward, trustworthy legal counsel. In response, PBL Law Group has released a collection of detailed guides crafted by its team of skilled strata lawyers to clarify the reforms.
The Sydney Morning Herald piece titled "New strata laws are great, but I can’t get an answer about undies on the balcony" highlighted the public's exasperation, pointing out that official resources often leave strata communities to "gamble their own time and their buildings' money" to comprehend the law. PBL Law Group's new offerings directly tackle this issue by delivering practical guidance on the most crucial elements of the legislation.
"The 'undies on the balcony' dilemma is indicative of a broader issue: the ambiguity surrounding intricate new regulations," states Raea Khan, Partner and Director Lawyer at PBL Law Group. "Individuals are uncertain about various topics, from conducting committee meetings to managing financial difficulties and approving environmentally friendly infrastructure. That’s why we have gone beyond mere commentary and produced a series of practical guides to provide strata committees and owners with the clear answers they require."
To address these significant areas of ambiguity, PBL Law Group has introduced a series of thorough online resources, which include:
A Complete Guide to Governance and Obligations: This guide outlines the new responsibilities for committee members, enhanced repair obligations, and greater accountability for developers, as detailed in their Complete Guide to the 2025 NSW Strata Law Reforms.
Capitalising on Sustainability Reforms: This resource explains how schemes can now more easily approve EV chargers, solar panels, and other green upgrades, which is elaborated in Boost Property Value & Sustainability: A Guide to the 2025 Reforms.
New Protections for Owners in Financial Hardship: This guide delineates the mandatory requirements for establishing payment plans and the new, fairer process for levy recovery, discussed in their guide to Financial Hardship & New Owner Protections.
By making these resources available, PBL Law Group strives to empower the entire strata community with the information necessary to operate within the law and prevent expensive disputes. The firm believes that proactive education is the best strategy for navigating the changing legal environment.
"Our aim is to be the primary resource for anyone in need of a strata lawyer in Sydney," adds Raea Khan. "This starts with offering clear, accessible information that assists individuals in resolving issues before they escalate."
For strata committees, managers, or owners looking to comprehend the full implications of the 2025 reforms, PBL Law Group's articles provide an essential starting point.
