On 18 June 2021, the Department issued Fire Safety Orders to the owners of the Ultima Harbourside at 25-33 Wharf Street and 37 Bay Street, Tweed Heads, to remove identified external wall panels on the building consisting of Aluminium Composite Panels (ACP).

The owners are required to replace the ACP with a non – combustible product and provide an inspection report issued by an accredited certifier, certifying that the replacement panels and method of installation comply with the Building Code of Australia. The owners are required to develop and implement fire safety measures to reduce the fire safety risks associated with the cladding until the rectification work is complete.

UPDATE: July 2024 – the works required under this order have now been completed.
