There has been a significant increase of public complaints related to development and construction activities received by Authority on Building Control and Construction Industry (ABCi), with statistics showing a 216-per-cent rise from 2021 (249 cases) to 2022 (539 cases).
Complaints included a range of issues relating to landslides incidents, collapsed retaining walls, blocked drains or drainage and damage to access roads. The increase is enough to trigger a stricter approach that requires not only efforts from the authorities but should also be addressed and coordinated by the responsible parties.
