Question: What’s been happening with cladding in Queensland body corporate buildings?
Answer: Yes, the QBCC is out there enforcing orders.
The three stages of the cladding process had deadlines. Those deadlines have passed and the QBCC is going out, somewhat surprisingly, and enforcing those deadlines. We’ve had situations where summons are issued against bodies corporate and owners of buildings. The QBCC has been issuing fines because bodies corporate haven’t done what they were supposed to do.
Body corporate managers who were on the ball really actively managed the repairs knowing this was a big risk and they protected their clients. Well done to all those who have gone through the process and finished, and this was probably due to the professionalism of those body corporate managers. So, yes, the QBCC is out there enforcing orders.
