The week’s podcast covers a wide array of topics, from your thoughts on strata committee training, and the ups and downs of the property market to common myths about strata managers. And we’ll throw in a reference to photography as well.

We have a look at Amanda Farmer’s survey into strata owners’ thought on training for strata committee members. We won’t do too many spoilers but it’s worth hearing what you, the owners and tenants really want.

Then we look at how volatile the building industry has become, with record number of small builders going out of business while the government’s housing targets seem to be as out of reach as ever.

Then we have a chat about some of the main myths about strata managers, as highlighted by Bobby Lehane, CEO of the Pica Group.

And we give a nod to a photograph that accompanied one of Sue’s stories about boarding house residents being evicted to make way for luxury houses in Sydney’s Paddington.

All in this week’s Flat Chat Wrap.
