Can pets truly be considered family in the ever-evolving landscape of strata living? We engage with Strata specialist Greg Williamson to uncover the significant legislative changes in Australia that have reshaped tenants' rights concerning pet ownership. Through the lens of the groundbreaking 2020 Cooper's case, we explore how the New South Wales government amended the Strata Schemes Management Act, ensuring tenants can no longer be unreasonably denied the companionship of their beloved pets. Greg provides invaluable insights into the transition from cumbersome pet applications to straightforward notification documents, signaling a dramatic shift in the dynamics between tenants and landlords.Join us as we navigate the emotional connections and challenges pets bring to shared living environments. With expert guidance from Greg, we delve into practical solutions for managing pet-related issues, from modifying bylaws to handling complaints, all while utilizing the expertise of Stedman, Williamson, and Hart. Discover the role of the NSW Civil and Administrative Tribunal (NCAT) in resolving disputes and learn effective strategies for harmonious community living, including the implementation of pet registers and amenities. Whether you're a tenant, landlord, or member of an owner's corporation, this episode offers essential advice for embracing the new era of pet-friendly strata living.

Suzanne Leal discusses the craft and process behind her novel The Watchful Wife. Suzanne talks about balancing external and internal dialogue and how you can create a really vivid scene in the mind of the reader without too much description, literally just with what the characters are saying, plus dialogue tags and actions. Suzanne reads a section of the novel that perfectly demonstrates this technique so listen out for that. We discussed how she balances difficult content and serious subject matter with humour. Suzanne also talked about the importance of rhythm and pacing in her work, and how she uses her own emotional state at any given time, in her writing.You'll find links to buy both paperback and ebook versions of The Watchful Wife by Suzanne Leal here.ABOUT SUZANNE LEALSuzanne is the author of novels The Watchful Wife, The Deceptions, The Teacher's Secret and Border Street.

The post What does a property manager in NSW need to do in preparing for a hearing at the NSW Civil and Administrative Tribunal (NCAT)? appeared first on ACOP.

I'm joined by fellow strata lawyer, Allison Benson. Allison recently appeared in the NSW Civil and Administrative Tribunal on behalf of an owners corporation seeking to enforce its cost recovery by-laws. In this chat, we discuss the Tribunal's decision, how that decision may impact future attempts by OCs to recover costs from lot owners, and the prospect of legislative reform to better protect buildings troubled by serial by-law breachers. 

It's very easy to get stuck in a mindset of “I've chosen THIS thing, so all other things are off the table, because once you choose THIS thing, then THESE are the things I HAVE to do." But who says we have to? Dr Tanya Stephens' career is that it's not just one thing. Her story clearly demonstrates that you don't HAVE to do anything in a certain way. Clinical practice doesn't have to take up all your time and exclude other interests. Practice ownership doesn't have to be a ball and chain. Having young kids doesn't have to mean you can't run a business. Research doesn't have to be done just by 'researchers'. Dr Tanya Stephens is a small animal practice owner and practitioner who still very much enjoys practice. As a practitioner, she is particularly interested in professional ethics and promoting evidence-based medicine. She is also a wildlife researcher with original research on galactosaemia in kangaroos. Her interests lie in animal welfare, research, evidence-based medicine, professional ethics, wildlife and sustainable agriculture and she is a regular presenter and published author on these topics. She is the editor of One Welfare in Practice: the Role of the Veterinarian and is a Fellow of the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons. Tanya is past President of the ANZCVS Animal Welfare Chapter, past President of AVAWE, the welfare and ethics branch of the AVA, an exec member of AVCB, which is the Conservation Biology branch of the AVA, Chair of the AVA's Animal Welfare Trust, honorary consulting veterinarian for the Children's Medical Research Institute, veterinary member of the NSW Civil and Administrative Tribunal, Chair of the NSW Kangaroo Management Advisory Panel and member of the Kangaroo Management Taskforce plus the Chair of the NSW Greyhound Welfare Integrity Commission Animal Welfare Committee. Jump in with us to hear how Tanya followed her curiosity to create a career around what worked for her. Of course, we also talk about ethics and the line between thorough and too much, trust, and why Tanya thinks we might be losing it, the perils of defensive practice, the concept of "gold standard" and why aiming for it might not always be the best idea, how YOU play a key role in animal welfare in your consult room and beyond, and much much more.

Daily Telegraph’s investigative reporter John Rolfe joins Luke Grant to discuss the NSW Civil & Administrative Tribunal appeal panel setting aside an earlier order that a Sydney travel agent pay $15,500 to a couple whose March 2020 holiday to South America which was cancelled due to the pandemic.   ‘NSW travellers who won refunds from travel agents for trips cancelled due to COVID-19 have had their victories quashed on appeal in what the nation’s leading consumer group calls a “worrying trend”’, writes Mr Rolfe.   ‘And last month, a differently constituted appeal panel overturned a decision that another travel agent had to refund $2336 after a customer’s return flights to India, scheduled for April 2020, were called off because of the pandemic.’ See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
