MR WERNER-GIBBINGS: Thank you. The ACT guidelines or the government guides to strata, a number of witnesses have suggested that, being produced in 2018, they are not as up-to-date as they could be. They do not cover recent strata reforms. Is that a fair assessment, and if yes, is there updating work being undertaken? When can it be expected, et cetera, et cetera? And then there is also a question about the Owners Corporation Network. Is that the same thing, the “Unit titles management in the ACT”, what you should know? Because that is also a 2018 document that some users are finding out of date. It might not be. The government might be able to take responsibility for that.

Ms Cheyne: There is definitely a role for government in providing information that is accessible and easy to understand and that work has been undertaken quite recently. Just give me one second. We have a new website which Mr Ng is demonstrating.

MR WERNER-GIBBINGS: Excellent, it looks great.

Ms Cheyne: It is not a prop.

Mr Ng: Yes, Mr Werner-Gibbings, if I could assist?

Ms Cheyne: Please go ahead.

Mr Ng: Yes, the most up-to-date information is on ACT government website which kind of outlines both the different types of unit title premises that can be created and some of the rules around it. So it is not as detailed as the former guidance, which I think is some of the feedback that the committee has received and has been received from the service more generally.

Ms Cheyne: So we have our own—I appreciate it had not been updated in some time, but this has been recently updated.

MR WERNER-GIBBINGS: We will put the links in the report.

Ms Cheyne: Yes, I can send it through.
