Introduction and first reading

 Gabrielle WILLIAMS (Dandenong – Minister for Transport Infrastructure, Minister for Public and Active Transport) (12:06): I move:

That I introduce a bill for an act to repeal the Cladding Safety Victoria Act 2020 and abolish Cladding Safety Victoria, to make related amendments to the Building Act 1993 including in relation to the building permit levy, to consequentially amend the Public Administration Act 2004 and for other purposes.

Motion agreed to.

 David SOUTHWICK (Caulfield) (12:06): I ask the minister for a brief explanation of the bill.

 Gabrielle WILLIAMS (Dandenong – Minister for Transport Infrastructure, Minister for Public and Active Transport) (12:06): Cladding Safety Victoria was established in 2019 to rectify or make safe buildings with flammable cladding. The Cladding Safety Victoria Repeal Bill 2026 marks the successful completion of Victoria’s world-leading achievements in protecting apartment residents from combustible cladding.

Read first time.

Ordered to be read second time tomorrow.
