We understand you may have questions about the upcoming demolition works on the high-rise block. Below are answers to some of the most common concerns.

What method will be used to demolish the building?

The demolition will be carried out using a controlled piecemeal approach, where the building will be dismantled step-by-step using heavy machinery. This method minimises noise, dust, and vibrations, ensuring safety for residents and nearby properties.

How long will the demolition take?

The process will begin with a soft strip, which involves removing non-structural elements of the building. The main demolition will start towards the end of this year, with the goal of completing all work by spring next year.

Will the demolition site be safe?

Yes, the site will be securely fenced and monitored to ensure the safety of residents, workers, and the public. Safety measures will also include regular inspections, traffic management, and adherence to all health and safety regulations.

What will be done to control noise and dust?

Noise and dust will be managed using:

• Water suppression systems to minimise airborne particles where necessary
• Working during approved hours only to limit noise disturbance
• Use of modern machinery designed for reduced noise output.

What hours will work take place?

Work will be carried out in strict compliance with approved operating hours, typically between 7:20am and 5pm on Monday to Friday, 7:20am to 1pm on Saturdays with no working on Sundays or Public Holidays

Will local services be affected?

We do not anticipate any disruption to local utilities or services. If temporary interruptions are necessary, residents will be notified well in advance.

How will traffic be managed around the site?

A traffic management plan will be in place to ensure minimal disruption to roadways and pedestrian routes. Signage and diversions will be clearly marked, and traffic marshals will be on-site if required.

What happens to the building materials?

Materials will be sorted and, wherever possible, recycled. Hazardous materials, if present, will be safely removed and disposed of in accordance with environmental regulations.
