This session will cover giving guidance to Owners Corporations with respect to building defect claims pursuant to the Design & Building Practitioners Act 2020.

The Design & Building Practitioners Act 2020 has added an additional avenue for Owners Corporation to explore when considering the pursuit of outstanding building defects.

The aim of the Act is to ensure that all the key participants are regulated and that the designs for buildings comply with the Building Code of Australia (BCA) and that any building work done complies with those designs.

Practical examples of situations where the Design & Building Practitioners Act 2020 may be enforced will be provided.
