The comment comes after safety concerns were raised over high-rise apartments in Sydney's west, when residents say they saw and heard cracking in the 38-storey complex.

 

Residents of 51 units in the Sydney Olympic Park building remain barred from returning to their homes while assessments are carried out.

 

The Collective's national president, Phillip Dwyer says the building industry faces significant issues.
