(2) (a) – (e)

The Cladding Review Group, comprised of representatives from Environmental Planning and Sustainable Development Directorate (EPSDD), Emergency Services ACT (ESA) and Access Canberra is currently working with ACT Government Directorates, including Canberra Health Services and ACT Health, to identify any government-owned and operated buildings that maybe at risk from the incorrect use of cladding materials.

Building on the earlier desktop audits Canberra Health Services/ACT Health undertook on its buildings, the Review Group has started its detailed assessment on two specific CHS buildings: Canberra Hospital Building 12 and Belconnen Community Health Centre. These assessments will be used to identify whether these buildings or other CHS /ACT Health buildings (subject to detailed assessment) may require any building work or other fire safety or risk mitigation.
