• Key measures in the Victorian Budget affecting stamp duty and land tax
• Grants and concessions for residential purchasers in designated areas
• Approval requirements, fee increases and additional regulation of foreign citizen property purchasers
• Changes to Owners Corporation obligations
• Swimming pool and spa inspection and registration requirements
• ARNECC changes to the Model Operating Requirement and Model Participation Rules
• Recent cases of interest
