Online Strata Dispute Resolution Tools

It's inevitable that there'll be internal conflicts in strata buildings.  

But, when those conflicts are not resolved they can seriously affect strata corporation operations, reduce owner satisfaction levels and [possibly] reduce apartment values.  So, people involved in strata disputes need mechanisms and tools to help them.  And, in most cases, the more information, tools and options the better.

A new resource for Victorian strata corporations (in addition to VCAT, advice from strata managers and strata lawyers) is the Owners Corporation Conflict Management Guide for Victoria (OCCM).

OCCM describes itself as a web based tool designed to help informally manage strata conflicts and 'an easy guide to improved understanding for owners, occupiers, OC managers and lawyers looking for help with dispute resolution'.

The website contains examples of typical strata disputes, explanations of legal language, links to legislation, decided strata cases and background information about strata title issues.  Although the OCCM website won't solve your Victorian strata dispute, it will help you know more about it, your options and what you can do about it.  

So, if you're looking for help in your strata dispute, check out OCCM (even if you're not in Victoria).
