Submitted 15 December 2025
The Real Estate Institute of New South Wales Limited (REINSW) has prepared this submission is in response to the Issues Paper on assessing the market impacts of payments to strata managers, issued by the NSW Productivity and Equality Commission on 17 November 2025 (Issues Paper).
REINSW draws on extensive member consultation, including the views expressed by its Strata Management Chapter Committee who are strata management professionals, and regional and metropolitan operators.
The industry feedback received by REINSW emphasises that any reform must recognise:
- the practical realities of existing businesses, fee models and agency agreements;
- the significant re-education required for consumers (especially owners/owners corporations); and
- the need for a fair and reasonable transition period to ensure that businesses and owners corporations can properly adapt to any new laws.
