Strata health in The Junction (2291)

The Junction (2291) has a mix of older established apartment blocks and newer high-rise developments in the Newcastle area. The strata health card below aggregates outstanding defect notices across strata schemes in the suburb, not individual buildings, giving you a sense of the scale of unresolved building problems. Before purchasing any unit, obtain the strata inspection report for the specific building.

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 The Junction has a significant new-build pipeline, check whether any buildings in 2291 are subject to a prohibition order on the NSW Planning Portal before making an offer.
