The OMB Law Board

Strata and community living are growing fast, but with shared spaces comes shared responsibility, compromise, and complexity.

In this episode of The OMB Law Board, Simon Bennett is joined by Alexander Wood from OMB Solicitors’ Body Corporate team to unpack the real-world legal issues facing strata communities today. From short-term letting and Airbnb disputes to parking headaches, maintenance blowouts, and the risks faced by volunteer committee members, Alex explains what the law allows, where boundaries sit, and how committees and owners can navigate challenges more effectively.

Whether you’re a lot owner, committee member, investor, or considering buying into a strata scheme, this episode offers practical insight into how community living works and why getting the right advice early can save significant stress and cost down the line.
