Flammable cladding is banned from new multi-storey buildings in Victoria, but the highly combustible material is still proving a costly nightmare for Melbourne apartment owners left footing all or part of the removal bill.
"It's a constant stress for us," Ms Robertson said.Paul Cummaudo, director of building consultants Roscon, compared cladding removal to "opening a can with no label on it".
Sarah Chambers says what was supposed to be a joyous time in her life has been filled with "anxiety and stress". CSV said a building in Pascoe Vale was not a priority for funding at this stage, given it was not as high of a risk compared to other buildings in its program. "We're also inspecting thousands of properties under construction each year as part of our Proactive Inspection Program, which identifies non-compliance early," VBA executive director of regulatory operations Lynda McAlary-Smith said in a statement.
Building authorities have inspected more than 3,200 private and public buildings as part of the cladding audit.
