Canberra Apartment Leaks Crisis

Canberra’s new apartment buildings are leaking like crazy—so badly that paint is peeling off parked cars. Engineers blame developers cutting corners for cost savings, leading to widespread waterproofing failures, especially in buildings under ten years old. Remediation firms are flooded with jobs fixing these defects, which often appear around years six to eight. One veteran CEO says most of their work now is undoing construction mistakes. While the Master Builders Association pushes for better quality and training, the real fix may come from new building rules and stricter developer licensing—hopefully ending the era of leaky condos and paint-splattered cars.
