Flood Insurance Policies and Strata Title

The catastrophic floods in Queensland, New South Wales and Victoria have prompted the Federal Government to take action on two fronts.

 

Changes to strata title insurance policies is a possibility; due to a parliamentary investigation and introduced proposed laws. The Federal Government will investigate the affordability of residential strata title insurance in a new inquiry. It will be taking submissions up until 16 January 2012. Strata title insurance cover is also under scrutiny with a new Bill proposing to make changes to insurance policies that relate to cover for flood. Details about inquiry submissions can be found here. The Bill can be viewed here.
