The cause of structural issues that triggered the evacuation of a Sydney high-rise apartment complex tower remains unclear

Residents of an evacuated apartment complex in Sydney are unsure when they'll be allowed to return as engineers try to stop ongoing and persistent cracking.

"It's suspicious that the new building is not even occupied and the building that's been up for 12 years all of a sudden has substantial cracks," he told reporters.Renters have been informed their temporary accommodation won't be covered by insurance while owners' alternate housing may also not be covered.

"The general thing going through my mind was 'what can I leave here and just go buy'," tenant Cameron told AAP on Saturday. Engineers Australia said the situation was further evidence changes were needed in the building and construction sector.
