Strata owners slam NSW Health ‘confused mess’

With yet another “tightening” of lockdown restrictions for greater Sydney, and once again the specific needs of apartment residents being ignored, the peak group for apartment owners in NSW has come out swinging.

The Owners Corporation Network (OCN) has accused the NSW Health depart of creating a “confused mess” by trying to treat 40-storey high apartment blocks the same as stand-alone houses, and explaining that strata committees can’t manage a pandemic just through by-laws.

“Health NSW needs a clearer strategy for directing and supporting apartment communities,” Karen Stiles, Executive Officer of OCN said.
