QLD: The first cladding stop is approaching
|
|
An important reminder from Hynes Legal:
We don’t need to rehash what we have written previously about the state government’s cladding laws but you can read the article again if you want to.
The date for all buildings that are caught by the cladding regulations to effectively opt out of the regime (if that is the case) is 29 March. If you don’t opt out, your building is going to stage two, with the consequential costs, even if it is not caught. If you haven’t looked at the cladding issue, the time is nigh. |

WA: ..the unit below me has tenants that smoke on their balcony. Judiciously living with closed windows and doors and no fresh air is not good for me or the unit. I am predisposed to asthma (triggered by cigarette smoke) and have now notified the strata again, and this time will be going to my doctor who will give me written documentation which I will deliver to the strata....
