Verdict
Public record: 1 tribunal matter, 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
Indicative, itemised estimate of what one average 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.
Elevated- $25,400
Serious building-defect rectification
Indicative per-lot serious-defect rectification levies (NSW Serious Defects in Residential Apartments research report, 2021; strata special-levy reporting). Scaled for: 1 matter.
- $3,000
Tribunal and legal costs
Indicative per-lot share of tribunal and legal costs in a strata dispute (NCAT).

The Owners – Strata Plan 83572 v Jackson Teece Chesterman Willis Pty Ltd [2019] NSWSC 942
Building defects NSWSC 25 July 2019
BUILDING AND CONSTRUCTION – residential building work – statutory warranties – remedial work to leaking façade – scope of work to be undertaken by the remedial builder – whether work done without due care and skill – whether any loss shown to have resulted from builder’s work
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 28 July 2017
- Non-structural cover
- Ran to 28 July 2017
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.
