Project No. 56

Commenced: 1974
Completed: 1982

The Strata Titles Act 1966 (WA) was enacted in response to the growing demand in Western Australia for occupation of individual units in the one building on an ownership basis and the generally unsatisfactory methods of dealing with that demand. The Act was modelled on the Conveyancing (Strata Titles) Act 1961 (NSW). In 1973 New South Wales enacted new legislation to address perceived problems with the previous regime. In light of this complete revision of the model legislation and the increased popularity of ownership of strata title units, the Commission was asked to perform a full review of the Western Australian legislation.
