https://www.abc.net.au/news/2017-10-26/ ... gs/9089690Combustible cladding has been found at five more buildings in Canberra, all belonging to ACT Health, the Government has revealed.
In August, flammable cladding was found on Canberra's Centenary Hospital for Women and Children and the ACT Government announced the decorative panels would be replaced as a matter of precaution.
But the cladding is still on the building with the Government saying it is looking for a contractor to complete the task this financial year.
Earlier this month, when questioned by the ABC, Planning Minister Mick Gentleman said no other buildings had been identified in the ongoing audit of government buildings.
But on Thursday, in the ACT Legislative Assembly, he revealed five other ACT Health buildings were affected.
According to the Aluminium Composite Cladding report, tabled in the Assembly, three of the buildings were also on the Canberra Hospital premises at Woden, while the Belconnen Community Health Centre and the Health Protection Service in Holder also had the potentially dangerous cladding.
Among the additional hospital buildings were the emergency department, the Australian National University (ANU) Medical School and radiation and oncology departments.
I wonder if the cladding has been replaced at these hospitals and health centres yet?
I am always complaining about the number of unit blocks that are popping up around Sydney almost overnight. They all seem to look like these buildings with combustible cladding
