The value of the CQA's focus on Waterproofing is confirmed in recent news from NSW:

"The NSW building regulator has agreed to use an independent third-party manager to oversee the repair of hundreds of defective homes at Shell Cove, south of Wollongong.

The NSW building regulator will oversee the repair of hundreds of homes in a new housing estate after describing their defects as "shocking".

Building issues, mostly related to waterproofing, have been identified in 325 of the 354 homes at the Shell Cove Marina, in the NSW Illawarra region, since 2019."
