Controversial property developer Jean Nassif has been suspended from holding a building licence in NSW for 10 years, while the building licence of his company, Toplace, has been permanently revoked.

The company has repeatedly clashed with NSW building authorities over alleged defects

Stripping Toplace of its building licence could have ramifications for the construction of a commercial centre it has underway in Box Hill in Sydney's north-west, and, more than 1,000 apartments across other developments. "The department has a track record of issuing defective notices to Toplace which have failed when subject to external scrutiny.

The company has repeatedly clashed with NSW building authorities over alleged defects in some of its residential towers. NSW Building Commissioner David Chandler had earlier issued an order preventing Toplace from settling with owners who had bought off-the-plan in two of the five towers in the complex after government inspectors found cracking in the basement slabs.

Veteran activist remains in poor health after controversial arrestThe health of an elderly and well known Sydney activist remains poor weeks after he suffered head and facial injuries during a confrontation with police. This is what is wrong with the police force, using brute force on people. When there was no need for it. It is exactly why people have lost the respect for police. Why did he ignore a move on order? And then resist arrest ? The police were only doing their job. They should not be crucified for it. He should of listened to,the police....shouldn't he....

High-speed Sydney to Melbourne rail plan ‘will never work’: infrastructure tsarSir David Higgins, the chairman of London’s Gatwick Airport, says planners and the prime minister should instead focus on faster trains around Sydney. michaelkoziol I’d listen to a few more experts before settling on the advice of a guy who works for an AIRPORT that’s located in one of the cities that may get fast trains. Perhaps we could ask what would the world leaders in train tech do? China, Japan, Germany, Spain and France. michaelkoziol He’s right. Fix up the suburban and intercity network first.
