Early works including demolition (June – October 2025)
Between June and October 2025, we will be carrying out early works, including demolition works, in Ballintine Street and Kelly and Nicholson Courts to prepare the site for the construction of new homes.
These works will be undertaken by a professional demolition contractor with expertise in asbestos removal. Works will include:
- Installation of temporary fencing around the site
- Safe removal of hazardous materials, including asbestos
- Careful deconstruction of vacant homes and above-ground structures
- Minor ground excavation.
Nearby residents can expect to see contractors in hi-vis and protective clothing operating heavy machinery (such as loaders and excavators) and local traffic changes, including heavy trucks entering and leaving the area. There will also be some levels of dust, medium-high vibrations and high-level noise.
To ensure the health and safety of nearby residents, dust suppression and noise reduction equipment will also be used to reduce impacts as much as possible. All works will be compliant with WorkSafe Victoria and Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Victoria regulations.
If you have any concerns or questions about the works, you can contact the site manager on the number below or can send us an email.
