Eight buildings at cladding risk

THE Victorian Building Association have confirmed that eight privately owned buildings in the Frankston municipality have been “identified with cladding” as part of the statewide audit into dangerous cladding.

Frankston Council declined to comment when asked which buildings were affected by the presence of potentially dangerous cladding.

The VBA did not respond to the question of which buildings in the municipality were affected by publication deadline.

Frankston Council mayor Michael O’Reilly told The Times last month that at least one building was affected and that “council and the VBA are currently engaged in ongoing investigations across the municipality to determine if there are additional buildings that require the appropriate action.”

Council confirmed in February that an apartment building on Culcairn Drive, Frankston South, had been identified as having dangerous cladding.

“The Victorian Building Authority has made Council aware of a number of fire safety issues at a property in Culcairn Drive, including combustible cladding,” he said.

“Council continues to work closely with the Victorian Building Authority as part of the State-wide Cladding Audit to ensure that combustible cladding is addressed appropriately. In some cases this may mean that cladding will have to be removed from buildings, and fire safety improvements made (“Investigation into cladding ‘ongoing’, The Times, 25/2/19).”

11 privately owned buildings in the Kingston municipality have been recognised by the VBA as containing dangerous cladding. The VBA found two buildings with dangerous cladding in the Mornington Peninsula Shire.
