Fears flammable cladding used on Gold Coast construction sites

Friday, 19 Feb 2016 08:56:34

An investigation is underway into potentially flammable cladding being used on Gold Coast building sites.

Building ministers will attend a forum at Bond University today to discuss the issue of non-conforming building products.

Strata Community Australia said there was a "flammable cladding crisis" in Queensland.

Gold Coast federal MP Karen Andrews said there had been issues raised about building products on the coast.

"There has been some issues that have been raised in other states and territories and certainly has been an issue raised on the Gold Coast," she said.

"I understand the Queensland ... Government will be investigating these issues and I look forward to their findings.

"There's certainly a role for an audit to be conducted by the state and territory governments to look at the extent.

"Hopefully there will be a way forward as to how we deal with the issue of non-conforming building products."
