The Government is committed to consideration of remediation costs already incurred as part of the drafting of the Apartments and Duplex Defects Remediation Statutory Scheme.

A Retrospective Costs Pathfinder project using a representative sample of Multi-Unit Developments (MUDs) has been established to identify an appropriate process to address retrospective issues more broadly. In particular, the Pathfinder project will support development of a robust process around:

• Alignment with the existing Interim Remediation Scheme processes;
• Supporting Documentation and Timeframes;
• Certification and Standardisation of Evidence;
• Verification and Payment processes.
