There is another use for the Opal apartments.
Use it as short term accommodation for country politicians when the NSW parliament is sitting. And if the PM/GG is staying at Kirribilli then their staff can also stay there. Suburban politicians would also be welcome to stay for a night or two just get an on site understanding. Senior public servants would also be expected to stay there if they require city accommodation.
It will in time be declared safe for reoccupation and by having such esteemed and “important” people saying there and demonstrating that it is safe then its reputation will surely be quickly remediated?
And they can also get first hand knowledge of how STHL really does affect a building and would surely become advocates for better and more effective legislation to ensure that it doesn’t spread and can be properly contained.
Maybe if they were allowed to sit in on OC meetings as observers they could also get an understanding of how useless current warranty and remediation regulations really are when it comes to real life examples. Also, seeing how developers/builders etc treat owners might give them a wake up call as to the real reason they are given “political/campaign donations”.
Yeah I’m dreaming but sometimes dreams come true. This would seem to be an opportune moment to strike while the iron is hot and use any and every to get the message out there. “change is needed” NOW!
