"The Australian construction industry has long been facing a crisis of serious
defects in apartment buildings. In the past, alarming incidents such as the
Sydney Opal Tower evacuation and the Melbourne Lacrosse fire signalled systemic
problems in construction.
The same problem persists today. One recent report shows serious defects in
apartment buildings in New South Wales have more than doubled between 2021 and
2023.
As the Albanese government fast-tracks its five-year plan to build 1.2 million
dwellings, this number will likely worsen.
We’ve researched the pressures the construction industry feels and how that can
result in unsafe apartments, and what can be done to make housing like this
better for everyone."
