Building Commissioner David Chandler is taking personal control of a new arrangement that will force the developer of four apartment blocks in Sydney’s north to repair structural defects in the foundation of the buildings.
But Chandler said the building itself was not at risk of immediate collapse. “These orders do not indicate an immediate risk of a building collapsing or a safety threat to residents,” he said. “But if known defects are not dealt with, there may be a long-term risk to the integrity of a building.” “Anyone who enters into an undertaking with Building Commission NSW does so understanding that they’ll pay for the cost of the work. I’m not having my money busted out over developers who need supervision at taxpayer expense.”
NSW Building Commissioner David Chandler says he is confident the issues at NBH at Lachlan’s Line will be fixed.“Greenland fully committed to working closely with the commission to satisfactorily resolve the situation and is in regular communication with the NSW building commissioner,” a spokesperson said.
