Strata health data for Parramatta (2150) is compiled from NSW Fair Trading building-defect notices and Parramatta Council building orders. It covers all classes of defect: fire-safety systems, structural elements, waterproofing, mechanical services, and common-area compliance. A high proportion of buildings with open orders is a signal to look harder at the specific building's records before proceeding.
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 Parramatta has a significant new-build pipeline, check whether any buildings in 2150 are subject to a prohibition order on the NSW Planning Portal before making an offer.
