The tragic Grenfell Tower fire in 2017 focussed safety concerns worldwide on combustible cladding<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

September 13, 2018<\/strong><\/p>\n

Three South Burnett building owners have been contacted by the Queensland Building and Construction Commission in regards to building cladding.<\/p>\n

The owners have been directed to provide information about any cladding used on their buildings.<\/p>\n

The letters, which were sent last week, will provide information about how the building owners can register their buildings and complete a cladding checklist as required under new laws that come into effect on October 1.<\/p>\n

The focus on potentially combustible cladding follows last year’s Grenfell Tower tragedy in London in which 72 people died.<\/p>\n

QBCC Commissioner Brett Bassett said it was important that building owners and bodies corporate moved quickly to complete the checklist.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cWe anticipate that most buildings will be safe, however all private buildings within scope need to be cleared so that we know for sure,\u201d Mr Bassett said.<\/p>\n

\u201cAll Queenslanders want peace of mind about the safety of their buildings.<\/p>\n

\u201cBuildings affected by non-conforming cladding can potentially be a real risk and we\u2019re moving quickly to address that risk.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf you receive a letter from the QBCC, or you own a building of three storeys or more built from 1994 onwards, visit www.saferbuildings.qld.gov.au<\/a><\/strong> for more information or to register and complete the checklist.\u201d<\/p>\n

South Burnett building owners will have until March 29, 2019, to complete the first part of the checklist.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Buildings that have suspected aluminium composite cladding will be required to be inspected by a building industry professional.<\/p>\n

If it is confirmed that combustible cladding has been used, the building will need to be inspected by a fire engineer.<\/p>\n

For further information, contact the QBCC on 13-93-33.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
