BENCHMARK
DESIGNER HOMES PTY LTD
404. Hon KATE DOUST to the
Minister for Commerce:
I refer to the many consumer complaints to the Building
Commission about Benchmark Designer Homes. Now that the company has gone into
administration —
(1) Will
Benchmark Designer Homes have its building contractor registration cancelled?
(2) Will the
director of Benchmark be banned from registering as a building contractor in
the future?

AnswerView source ↗

I thank the honourable member for the question.
(1)–(2)
I will have to take advice on the consequences of that and what the Building
Commission has in mind. I have not done so up until now, but I will await a
report from the Building Commission on the status of that particular operator
and those involved with that operation, once the Building Commission has had
the opportunity to consider the consequences of that company going into
administration.
