Aluminium Composite Cladding

The Hon. A. KOUTSANTONIS (West Torrens) (14:44): My question is to the Minister for Transport and Infrastructure. Has the minister received any advice from the MFS or any other agency that the ratings published by his agency, DPTI, do not accurately reflect the true risk from fire or life safety in the buildings identified as being at risk in the state's cladding audit?

The Hon. S.K. KNOLL (Schubert—Minister for Transport, Infrastructure and Local Government, Minister for Planning) (14:45): I haven't received specific advice, but can I tell you that this is a live tool that outlines a series of questions. In fact, there are quite a few questions as you go through this. There would quite clearly be different ways to answer those questions. Some of those questions, whilst not being subjective, don't always have hard quantifiable data—factors like what type of occupants would be in the building from time to time. Some of these things are subject to variability.

But this is a coordinated, across-government response. We are dealing with this methodically and appropriately, and we are doing it hand in glove with the Metropolitan Fire Service, who have been providing invaluable advice in relation to this process. We will continue to do that. We will continue to work through that. Again, with the role that the MFS plays with the building fire safety committees, they have a seat at the table when it comes to their direct interactions between those building fire safety committees and building owners as we head along the rectification and the remediation path.
