The Department of Planning and Environment has developed and released new information designed to assist Councils and apartment owners with frequently asked questions about the new cladding regulations.
For apartment owners the information addresses questions about whether the cladding regulation applies to their apartment building; what is external combustible cladding; how to identify it and registering their building.
More information is available at www.claddingregistration.nsw.gov.au including a ‘Do I need to register my building?’ checklist. Community language versions of the owners’ FAQ will be available on the website soon.
The NSW Fair Trading website has tips and advice for strata managing agents and you can also sign up to receive updates on the registration portal at www.planning.nsw.gov.au/cladding
If you require any further information you are advised to call 1300 305 695 or email info@service.nsw.gov.au.
We will continue to keep you updated via our member alerts and on the SCA (NSW) website.
