Proposed building-dispute reform welcomed, but too late for some Tasmanian consumers
Tasmanians who have defects with their new home builds could soon have access to a tribunal to hear their disputes with builders, but only if the issue occurred after mid-2021.
This has caused concern that many will be unable to access justice, including those who have repeatedly raised issues in recent years.
The government's residential building law reforms are due to be debated in parliament next week, proposed after growing concern that the state had no mechanism — other than potentially expensive legal action — for Tasmanians to resolve disputes with builders.
