HWL Ebsworth Lawyers Partner introduced with preparations in full swing, we are launching our upcoming seminar series this October–November 2024, featuring two major topics: By-Laws: The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly (SEQ) and Insurance: Affordability and Accountability (NQ).

In our Southeast Queensland seminar series, our panel of experts will explore what is a good, a bad and what is a downright ugly by-law. They will explain why and what you can do to make your by-laws not only compliant with existing and new laws for pets and parking, but also how you can effectively communicate and seek community observance. We will delve into making and changing by-laws and also options for when you have recalcitrant residents that are causing disharmony within your community.

In case you missed last week’s announcement, we introduced our second Strata expert who will be speaking at our Southeast Queensland events which you can view HERE. This week we are eager to announce our third Strata industry expert panelist who will speak at our upcoming education seminars we are hosting across Southeast Queensland with HWL Ebsworth Lawyers Partner introduced today!
