Author
Kerry Ould has been a prominent consumer advocate and resident from Frankston South, Victoria, who became one of the leading voices in Australia's combustible cladding and building defects crisis.Her advocacy centers heavily on a multi-storey apartment complex located at 5 Culcairn Drive, Frankston South, and others where she and her fellow apartment owners have faced severe financial and emotional distress.
Her Role & Advocacy
As an impacted owner, Kerry Ould has aggressively pushed for regulatory accountability in the Victorian building sector, using her platform to highlight what she and local politicians call a "gross injustice" and a failure of consumer protection.
Targeting "Dodgy Builders": She has publicly campaigned against the building's original developer/builder (4S Constructions), pointing out the stark imbalance where a builder faces minor fines or cancels a license while leaving everyday people with unsellable, heavily indebted properties.
Political Lobbying: She has worked closely with state politicians on both sides and regulators to bring change going forward , including Member for Mornington Chris Crewther, who has repeatedly raised the plight of the 5 Culcairn Drive residents in the Victorian Parliament to demand state government intervention and compensation for the affected owners.
