I thank the honourable member for
some notice of the question. The following response has been provided by the
Minister for Housing.
(1) There were
none.
(2) Following due
diligence and engineering reports on the site, refurbishment is not viable on
the ageing building, with significant structural issues including, but not
limited to, the presence of concrete cancer, significant asbestos and
noncompliant balconies. Additionally, it is unlikely that the building could be brought up to current national standards and
building codes including, importantly, accessibility and energy efficiency standards.
