Strata health in Austinmer (2515)

If you are buying a unit in Austinmer, strata health is one of the most important due-diligence signals available. The data here shows the number of buildings in Austinmer 2515 with open building orders or defect notices, a measure of how much of the suburb's unit stock has known structural, fire-safety, or waterproofing problems that the owners corporation has not yet rectified.

NSW introduced the Residential Apartment Buildings (Compliance and Enforcement Powers) Act 2020 in response to high-profile defect scandals in Sydney. Under this legislation, the Secretary of Planning can issue prohibition orders on buildings with serious defects before occupation. If Austinmer has a significant new-build pipeline, check whether any buildings in 2515 are subject to a prohibition order on the NSW Planning Portal before making an offer.
