BSA doing all it can do: Minister?

THE Minister for Public Works and Information and Communication Technology has hit back at claims that the Building Services Authority is a “toothless tiger”.

He said BSA's Homeowner Insurance Scheme is “the best in Australia”.

The NewsMail contacted Minister for Housing Robert Schwarten yesterday after receiving numerous telephone calls from homeowners and tradespeople expressing concern over the BSA.

“I am yet to see any evidence of what more the BSA can do to further help homeowners or sub-contractors any more than it has,” Mr Schwarten said.

“The BSA advises me they are doing all they can to assist.”

He said BSA advised him there were several complaints from sub-contractors in relation to Coral Coast Homes, and that there may be more.

Mr Schwarten urged tradespeople and homeowners facing difficulties with non-payment or defective work to contact his office.

  1. Lets hope the Minister can do his job properly without getting railroaded. Seems to be a vendetta against the BSA whose staff must endeavour to implement the legislation to which they must comply with. If the legislation is flawed then the politicians must be held accountable for this, not the publice servants who try their best each day to implement legislation.

  3. After years of paying fees to BSA, I called them to help me reclaim money owed to me by this lowlife scumbag to which I am told "Call these adjudicators". Adjudication is going to cost me more money so I can reclaim money that is rightfully mine. Where the hell is the BSA when tradies are getting screwed?????I WANT MY MONEY BACK

  5. The minister has done his job well.
    It is his job to steer the public out of his hands and keep payouts as low as possible so he can hold his head high and say" I have saved the public X amount of monies this year.
    Another Job well done. for the Gov, not for the people
