The SA Government has appointed Wendy Campana as Cladding Response Co-ordinator to oversee the remediation works of affected buildings.

Ms Campana is currently Commissioner for Kangaroo Island, according to her LinkedIn profile.

The appointment comes after a statewide audit identified 28 private residential blocks in urgent need of attention.

Seven of the buildings are deemed “extreme risk” and require immediate action. For the 21 buildings deemed “high risk”, repair works must be carried out within 12 months.

“[Ms Campana] will be tasked with helping building owners fulfil their legal and moral obligation to notify their tenants and occupants,” Infrastructure Minister Stephan Knoll said.

“I am advised that councils have sent notifications to all private building owners and Ms Campana will help ensure tenants are kept informed.

“She will also ensure that rectification works are carried out as quickly as possible by helping to co-ordinate councils, building owners, fire authorities and other state government agencies.”
