<p>We have launched a new scheme to provide funding for the remediation or mitigation
of life safety fire risks related to external wall system defects. This is for medium-rise
buildings (11-18 metres) where the developer of a building cannot be identified, traced,
or held responsible. This scheme opened in November via an initial pilot, targeting
an initial number of buildings that have interim measures or simultaneous evacuation
measures in place. The wider rollout of the scheme to other buildings will commence
in 2023. Further details on eligibility and the application process will be announced
as soon as possible.</p><p>The developer remediation contract applies to buildings
of 11 metres and over in height, so buildings between 11 and 18 metres in height are
already in scope.</p>
