Verdict
Public record: 6 tribunal matters, no building-work orders. A reasonable pre-screen, but not the full picture, the financials and minutes that decide the purchase are in the report, not the registers. Read it, and obtain a section 184 strata search, before you bid.
Cost exposure

Decisions naming this scheme, from NSW Caselaw (NCAT and the courts). The quoted line beneath each is the decision's own catchwords; the topic tag is our grouping of those words. Whether a matter helped or hurt the scheme is not assessed here.
Statutory-warranty outlook
- Structural cover
- Likely expired · est. expiry 30 July 2004
- Non-structural cover
- Ran to 30 July 2004
A single 7-year warranty period applies because the scheme was registered before the 1 February 2012 reform. Estimated from the registration date, not the completion date or building contract, so treat the dates as indicative.
