Firstly, Ryan has spoken with the insurer. They are aware we are making plans to rectify the building and are not concerned. No risk of them pulling insurance as yet. </div>

Regard MJ, the past two weeks Ryan has had meetings with MJ engineering in their offices. They were very sheepish after the committee meeting and apologised for not being prepared and for the errors in the documents. </div>

One element we are pushing back on is the initial requirement to re-waterproof all facade-abutting balconies (the balconies with solid walls, instead of glass balustrades). I have explained that the committee understands the need to repair the visible concrete
spalling, render delamination, cracks, holes, chips, rust, plants etc. but we have not been convinced every one of these balconies needs to be re-done. </div>

I have raised the option of flood-testing each of these balconies before confirming the requirement to re-waterproof each one. This potentially could save us $2 million from the current quotes. </div>
