Details
- Six other smaller buildings on the site will also be demolished, however the water reservoir and pump station on the site will remain.
- This 2.7 hectare site will be retained by the Council.
Construction impacts
- Access to the site will be restricted while this work is carried out. The Sockburn Service Centre building has been assessed by engineers as earthquake-prone and has been cordoned off since the earthquakes for safety reasons.
- There will be increased noise, dust, light, and vibration levels that we will try to keep to a minimum.
- Safety is our number one priority. Safety is your responsibility too. Stay clear and stay alert. Keep children and pets at a safe distance from the work site.
Noise
There may be increased noise, dust and vibrations during work but it shouldn’t impact on your power, water, gas or phone services.
Safety
Safety is our biggest priority so please keep children and pets away from worksites.
Bins
Please put your bins out as usual before 6am on your collection day. Our crew will move and return them if needed.
