Risk read

What the public record shows for this scheme, read for a buyer. This is not the strata report, and a quiet record is not a guarantee: obtain a section 184 strata search before you bid.

1 litigation matter on record

Tribunal and court decisions naming this scheme as a party. A litigious building is more likely to be carrying unresolved disputes, defects, or levy fights.
Building-defect dispute on record

A matter touches building defects or rectification work. Ask whether the work is funded and whether the builder's warranty still applies.

Statutory warranty: structural cover likely expired (est. 18 August 2011); non-structural ran to 18 August 2011. 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.
No recent annual reporting on the Strata Hub

We could not find a current annual return for this scheme on the NSW Strata Hub. That may just be a gap in the public data, but a non-reporting scheme can also signal a disengaged committee, ask for the last two AGM minutes.

Cost exposure

Elevated exposure

An indicative, itemised estimate of what one lot here could face, built only from this scheme's public-record signals. Indicative ranges, not this building's actual figures, and not financial advice.

Good case $8,800 per lot

Expected $30,300 per lot

Worst case $99,900 per lot

Your lot's share versus an average lot 1.0×

Special levies are apportioned by unit entitlement. Set this from your contract; 1.0× is an average lot.

Exposure drivers, indicative per-lot ranges
Driver	Good	Expected	Worst
Serious building-defect rectification A decision on this scheme was classified as a building-defect matter. Indicative per-lot serious-defect rectification levies (NSW Serious Defects in Residential Apartments research report, 2021; strata special-levy reporting). Scaled for: 1 matter.	$8,300	$27,300	$89,900
Tribunal and legal costs 1 tribunal or court matter on the public record. Indicative per-lot share of tribunal and legal costs in a strata dispute (NCAT).	$500	$3,000	$10,000
Total per lot	$8,800	$30,300	$99,900

Across all 99 lots, an expected program of this kind is on the order of $2,999,700 building-wide, before any government contribution.

Estimate only. Figures are indicative ranges from public remediation programs and reporting, apportioned to one lot; they are not this building's costed works and not financial advice. Obtain the capital works fund balance, any special levy resolved or proposed, and a strata records search before you transact.

Questions to ask before you bid

1
What building defects have been identified, is there a funded rectification plan, and does the builder's warranty still apply?

Because we found a building-defect dispute on record.
2
What is the capital works (sinking) fund balance, its adequacy ratio, and the 10-year plan?
3
Are any special levies raised, proposed, or scoped-but-not-yet-levied?
4
Can I see the last two years of AGM minutes, including any motions that were defeated?

Evidence ledger

Registry-backed record: matched to a scheme on the register by its plan number.

Evidence ledger: what was checked, what it found, how strong the match, and when it was last checked.
Checked	Found	Match	Last checked
Registry and parcel	NSW Strata Hub, with geometry	Direct	Awaiting first run
Governance: AGM, managing agent, annual reporting	Not yet checked	Not matched	Not harvested here yet
Litigation: NCAT and courts	1 matter	Direct	28 June 2026
Levies and financials	Not yet checked	Not matched	Not in the public record
Defects and building-work orders	Checked, none found	Direct	28 June 2026
Fund balances, current levies, minutes, defects not yet litigated	Not on the public record	Not matched	Never in the public record

What was checked, what it found, how strong the match, and when each source last ran. A source that has not run here yet reads as not checked, never as checked and clear. The unknowns the public registers structurally cannot show stay named, so silence above is never read as a clean bill.
