Hon Dr MEGAN WOODS (Minister for Building and Construction): The Government first became aware of supply chain issues for Gib and other building products in the context of alert level 4 restrictions in August-September of last year. As a result of this, on 10 September, when the chief executive of the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment (MBIE) authorised certain businesses or services that were located within the alert level 4 area to operate the manufacture of Gib, Winstone Wallboards was one of these businesses. At the time, it was thought to be not a systemic supply issue, and its stock levels were OK, but it was a matter of logistics. However, in November 2021, the building and construction industry began to report shortages of a number of products, including Gib. In response, MBIE issued guidance on product substitution on 6 December 2021 to ease shortages. This guidance included plasterboard. In response to the second part of the question, it's important the member understands this is not a formal ministerial inquiry. This is a group of private sector experts brought together to advise me, to ensure the effective and swift execution and implementation of measures taking place. I expect issues raised at the first meeting next Monday will be actioned straight away.
