NSW introduced the Residential Apartment Buildings (Compliance and Enforcement Powers) Act 2020 in response to high-profile defect scandals in Sydney. Under this legislation, the Secretary of Planning can issue prohibition orders on buildings with serious defects before occupation. If Chippendale has a significant new-build pipeline, check whether any buildings in 2008 are subject to a prohibition order on the NSW Planning Portal before making an offer.
