COMMUNITY EDUCATION SEMINARS – SUNSHINE COAST NEXT WEEK! – GRACE LAWYERS PARTNER INTRODUCED!  

Grace Lawyers partner introduced with preparations in full swing. We are now nearing the halfway point, with the second SEQ event, By-Laws: The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly set to take place on the Sunshine Coast next Thursday, 24^th of October. This seminar series focuses on two key topics: By-Laws: The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly (SEQ) and Insurance: Affordability and Accountability (NQ).

In our Southeast Queensland seminar series, our panel of experts will explore By-Laws: The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly.They will explore what is a good, a bad and what is a downright ugly by-law. They will explain why and what you can do to make your by-laws not only compliant with existing and new laws for pets and parking, but also how you can effectively communicate and seek community observance. We will delve into making and changing by-laws and options for when you have recalcitrant residents that are causing disharmony within your community.  

In case you missed the previous announcement, we introduced Mario Esera, Partner of HWL Ebsworth Lawyers, who will be speaking at all our SEQ events. You can view Mario’s introduction HERE. This week, we’re excited to reveal our third SEQ Strata industry expert panelist, who will be joining Mario on the Sunshine Coast!
