Bronwyn is the co-author of the Building Confidence Report. Her appointment with Professor Shergold to undertake this work reflects her reputation as a legal advisor on building regulations for more than 20 years. Bronwyn has been advising the NSW and WA governments on their implementation of the Building Confidence Report and she is also part of the Expert Advisory Group appointed to advise the ABCB on its work to develop a national framework for the implementation of the report.

Alisa Taylor, Partner at Meyer Vandenberg will also provide her perspective on the current legal issues arising from combustible cladding, including discussing the Victorian decision about liability for the Lacrosse building fire would be followed in the ACT and the results of the audit of ACT government owned buildings, and whether cladding is likely to feature in future regulatory reforms in the ACT.
