This how to guide has been developed for strata residents and owners in New South Wales, Australia (NSW). If you live outside of NSW, you may still find this guide useful, but you will need to check the local laws, regulations and service providers that apply in your jurisdiction.

This ‘how to guide’ has been developed by Hazel Easthope and Caitlin Buckle at the University of New South Wales with input from Christine Byrne at Green Strata, members of the City of Sydney’s Residential Apartment Sustainability Reference group and volunteer strata owners living in Sydney. The research has been funded under Australian Research Council Grant FT130100511.
