LSIC Recommendation 6

The Victorian Parliament’s Legal and Social Issues Committee enquiry into Retirement Living has made 15 recommendations.

RECOMMENDATION 6: That the Retirement Villages Act 1986 and related regulations define whose responsibility it is to pay for repairs and maintenance, both inside units and in the communal area and facilities. These amendments should further require all works to be undertaken within a reasonable and mutually acceptable timeframe.

The State Government is yet to respond to the recommendations.
