- Negligent, misleading and unconscionable conduct under builder registration laws
- Issues during building projects in Shenton Park, Kensington and North Perth
- $25,000 total fine following SAT mediation with Building and Energy
A father and son have been fined a combined $25,000 for improper conduct while overseeing four building projects, including carrying out unauthorised work, providing misleading documents and seeking unjustified payments.
Alan Bradley Mason (BP11654) and Luke David Mason of Ranlak Pty Ltd (BC9362, expired) attended the State Administrative Tribunal (SAT) regarding disciplinary allegations by Building and Energy under WA’s builder registration laws.
Alan Mason was Ranlak’s director and nominated supervisor and his son Luke Mason was managing the business when it was contracted in December 2020 to carry out home building work in Shenton Park, Kensington and North Perth.
According to agreed facts following SAT mediation on 13 July 2023, Ranlak was negligent while carrying out a building service at the first Shenton Park property because it continued building work despite a City of Nedlands building order prohibiting this.
The company was also negligent because it undertook work on three projects – at Kensington and both Shenton Park sites – without the required building permits and home indemnity insurance (HII).
