Project Remediate begins first investigation
The first cladding has been removed for investigation as part of Project Remediate, the NSW Government’s billion dollar cladding remediation program.
The project aims to remove all flammable cladding from NSW’s high-risk residential apartment buildings by the end of 2023.
NSW Better Regulation Minister Kevin Anderson said the start of the investigation work is a huge step for Project Remediate.
“This is an incredibly important moment for the families and residents living in apartments impacted by dangerous cladding,” Anderson said.
“Today is the start of a critical program that has been years in the making. So much careful work has been done behind the scenes to reach this point, and we are now ready to fix a problem that has been burdening owners for a long time.”
Project Remediate will provide no-interest loans, free expert program management, and the assurance that when remediation work is completed, the work will be accepted by insurers. The program will also create 3440 new jobs in NSW.
