CCN – The Latest Updates, News and Alerts on Combustible Cladding
Breaking News – A fire broke out in the Neo 200 building on Spencer Street about 5am this morning. The building is 41 storeys and features 371 residential apartments.
MFB chief officer Dan Stephens says the building is cladded in the same kind of aluminium composite materials as the Grenfell Tower, where 72 people died in London in 2017. The Neo 200 was built by LU Simon, the same builder involved in the Lacrosse building, which was devastated by fire in 2014.
Victorian Building Authority was aware that the building at 200 Spencer Street was fitted with “non-compliant cladding material” and it was referred to the Municipal Building Surveyor
