The Northern Territory Government has provided advice to property owners following the results of an engineering assessment report into select properties in Palmerston.
The report found while there is no immediate safety risk, the structural building system used in some of the homes has been determined to be non-compliant with the requirements of the Building Code of Australia in force at the time of construction, while also being structurally inadequate in its design to meet the needs of the Territory.
The Northern Territory Government has been working with the impacted homeowners following reports of defects to the homes, which included movement in flooring, cracked and loose tiles and poor drainage on balconies.
