Aluminium Composite Cladding

The Hon. A. KOUTSANTONIS (West Torrens) (14:52): My question is to the Minister for Transport and Infrastructure. Is the minister or any of the participating councils making any financial institutions with security over at-risk buildings or property aware of the outcome of the government's audits?

The Hon. S.K. KNOLL (Schubert—Minister for Transport, Infrastructure and Local Government, Minister for Planning) (14:53): In the first instance, the correspondence is between the building owner and the council. My first answer to what the financial and security arrangements are for building owners would be that that is a matter for building owners. Again, I am not necessarily sure it is the state government's place or even the councils' place to try to unpack whatever contractual arrangements exist between a building owner and anyone who holds debt over that building, or anybody else who has a financial interest in that building.

First and foremost, the building owners are the ones we are holding responsible to rectify these buildings. They are the ones who own them, and so first and foremost that is the primary relationship and the primary mechanism by which we are going to enforce the Development Act. In relation to anything beyond that, in the first instance, that is a matter for the building owner.
