Regulation Review Submission

In March, the RVRA made a formal submission to the public consultation on the proposed remake of the
Retirement Villages Regulation (2017). We provided detailed feedback on streamlining Asset Management
Plans, sub-cpi budgets, voting and dispute resolution procedures, and were interviewed by NSW Fair Trading as
part of the review process.
