NCAT cases are usually internal to a scheme — by-laws, levies, repairs, access to records. Court cases usually involve builders or insurers over defects, because those claims exceed the tribunal's jurisdiction. A per-1,000-lot rate isn't shown: Merewether has 1,598 lots, small enough that a single litigious building would move it several-fold. These are published decisions only — most strata disputes settle or are resolved without a judgment, so this is a floor, not a count. See the Merewether suburb profile.
