I thank the honourable member for some notice of the
question.
(1) No.
(2) I raised the issues that had been provided to me
directly or through the media at the meeting of 17 June 2024.
(3) On Tuesday, 30 July 2024 the Building Services
Board made a decision not to renew Nicheliving's builders' registration, based on financial grounds. The board's
decision enables home owners with incomplete or defective work under
home building work contracts with Projex Management and Construction to make a claim
on their home indemnity insurance policies and consider other arrangements for
completing their projects.
QBE has existing processes and
procedures in place to manage the transfer of homes, as it has done many times
in the past when builders go insolvent. Given the scale of homes this decision
affects, government has met with QBE and offered our assistance to ensure
customers of Nicheliving are transferred to new builders in the shortest time
possible.
