Some of Australia’s biggest building materials companies are stepping up pressure for an “urgent” review of minimum construction standards in the wake of a blaze that ripped through a high-rise tower in Melbourne’s CBD this week. About 200 residents had to be evacuated after fast-moving flames raced up combustible cladding on the side of the 41-floor apartment complex on Spencer Street, Neo200, about 5.30am on Monday. The building was constructed with the same sort of cladding that ignited at London’s Grenfell Tower in 2017 and killed 72 people. This comes as Victoria’s Planning Minister Dick Wynne calls for a nationwide ban of combustible cladding. At the Building Minister’s Forum in Hobart on Friday, Mr Wynne will push for states, territories and the Federal government to join together to ban aluminium composite cladding.
