Twelve houses in a Sunshine Coast street remain unfinished years after home buyers signed contracts for their construction.
The homes on Cambridge Place, in the King Windsor estate at Burnside, are shells disappearing behind the weeds that have taken over during summer. Some have interior walls, some have cabinetry and some do not have completed exterior cladding.
They have been untouched since Catapult Building, trading as Catapult Homes, stopped work on all of its jobs – 26 homes from Logan to the Sunshine Coast – in October.
Sunshine Coast News understands the Cambridge Place home buyers signed contracts for the homes as long as three years ago and expected to be living in them by now, but are stuck paying rent as well as mortgages.
An attempt was made to reach out to a group of them on social media and although some were clearly unhappy with Catapult, none wanted to speak on the record.
A check of Queensland Building and Construction Commission records shows that Catapult Building’s licence was suspended on December 11 last year for failure to comply with an audit and cancelled the next day at the licence holder’s request.
