Another inadequate response from WA Labor

Back in September of 2023, we sat with Roger Cook in Kwinana and delivered him the first round of heartfelt letters filled with pain. The evidence we presented painted a clear picture of torturous abuse of power.

Did we hear back? No.
Do we all have our keys? No.
Is BGC being awarded government contracts? Yes.
Is the builder completing homes for themselves? Yes.

And now another letter has been penned by customers still waiting for their homes to be completed. There are suspected to be hundreds of homes left incomplete, despite BGC ceasing sales 2 years ago!!

Niche. Inspired. Why not BGC, Mr Cook? It's time for you to speak up!

Hundreds of BGC customers left without homes after construction delays say they’ve had enough — and want answers from the top.

“I would call for the banks to show some understanding for what are some very difficult and unique circumstances.” Master Builders WA chief executive Matthew Po***ck

❗❗How about the builders being held accountable for signing up more customers than they have the capacity to service in the contracted timeframes?❗❗

Now let's see the figures for BGC!!
How many complaints submitted?
How many homes still incomplete?

Opposition leader Shane Love says the state government overstimulated the building market with COVID building incentives and that the system of review by the state building regulator should be examined.
