How close did we come to having our own Grenfell disaster?
Eerily close, according to Evaculife Managing Director, Bruce Bromley, who says the La Crosse apartment building in Melbourne’s Docklands could have easily suffered the same fate as the Grenfell disaster in London.
The Property Council supports proposals for systematic auditing of existing buildings with cladding, and a ban on the future importation and sale of 100% polyethylene core aluminium composite panels.
As reports begin to emerge that external cladding caused the London fire to spread so quickly, many in Australia are beginning to ask could the same thing happen here?
