Ms Cheyne: The answer to the member’s question is as follows:
(1) Complaints regarding noise and structural issues at Symphony Park in Harrison are currently being investigated by Access Canberra. Accordingly, it would be inappropriate for me to provide further comment so as not to prejudice the investigation or its outcomes.
(2) Please see response to Question 1.
(3) Please see response to Question 1.
(4) Access Canberra has been aware of the complaints associated with Symphony Park since 2019, and continues to investigate these matters.
(5) Please see response to Question 1.
(6) Compliance and enforcement in accordance with construction and building legislation in the ACT is the responsibility of the independent statutory officer, namely, the ACT Construction Occupations Registrar (‘the Registrar’). It is not appropriate for me, as Minister, to intervene in the Registrar’s exercise of his statutory functions. I can confirm, however, that both myself and the former Minister, Mr Gordon Ramsay, have received correspondence from residents of Symphony Park in relation to complaints regarding noise and structural issues.
(7) Please see response to Question 1.
