More than 30 South Australian buildings require urgent remedial work to deal with potentially flammable aluminium cladding — but the State Government is refusing to identify which buildings are at risk.
The results of an audit into combustible cladding in SA buildings show 30 require urgent workThe buildings have been identified in a statewide audit, which was launched in mid-2017 in the wake of London's Grenfell Tower fire.
A further 21 privately-owned buildings have been assessed as"high risk", meaning remedial action should be carried out in the next 12 months.Infrastructure Minister Stephan Knoll said one of those buildings was under construction and not currently open to the public."The other publicly-owned building is a small ablution block and I'm advised that remediation works are being carried out over the coming weeks," Mr Knoll said.
"It is our expectation that building owners will notify occupants of their respective buildings and keep them informed throughout the remediation process as appropriate." "The [Department of Planning, Transport and Infrastructure] will be working very closely with councils and building owners to ensure remediation works are carried out and these buildings meet the acceptable standard," he said.
