🏡 Key Issues: Cost-of-living pressures & housing affordability
With the federal election approaching, these topics have become central to national discussions. Against this backdrop, SCA is driving a targeted campaign to amplify these concerns and advocate for the future of the strata sector.
Why Federal Policies Matter for Strata
Although strata governance is largely managed at the state level, federal policies in crucial areas—such as housing, urban planning, small business, sustainability, financial services, and education—significantly impact strata communities across all states and territories.
Moreover, the federal government coordinates policies nationwide, often acting as a bridge for ministerial collaboration between jurisdictions. This makes advocacy at a federal level essential for ensuring strata interests are well represented.
Bridging the Knowledge Gap
Federal policymakers’ understanding of strata-related issues varies widely. While some are deeply familiar with strata living and management, others have limited insight—potentially influencing their decisions and policy development.
To address this, SCA is prioritizing engagement with federal leaders, aiming to educate and inform policymakers about the realities and unique challenges of strata communities.
