Aluminium Composite Cladding

486 The Hon. S.C. MULLIGHAN (Lee) (12 May 2021). What options were examined for providing support to residential building owners found to have aluminium composite panels requiring replacement?

The Hon. S.S. MARSHALL (Dunstan—Premier): I have been advised:

The Attorney-General's Department (the department) has taken an active role in facilitating the aluminium composite panel (ACP) audit.

The department has provided ongoing and comprehensive advice to all stakeholders, including building and unit owners, building managers, community corporations, consultants and council members of building fire safety committees.

Financial options to assist building owners with replacement costs have not been considered, given that all ongoing costs associated with buildings such as maintenance and repair, are the responsibility of building owners. Furthermore, some building owners have already remediated their buildings at their own cost.
