BUILDINGS DECLARED DANGEROUS
The Building Authority today declared all of No. 1 Bonham Road and
the first floor of the kitchen and bathroom block of No. 3 Bonham Road to be
in a dangerous condition.
The Principal Government Building Surveyor said that these pre-war
buildings were inspected following a report of a collapsed floor during the
June rainstorm. Both buildings are two-storey with double floors of basements.
A portion of the rear of the timber ground floor of No. 1 recently
collapsed leaving the rear main wall in a dangerous condition.
The remainder of the structural timbers of this building are in
a decayed condition and beyond reasonable repair,
The rear wall of the kitchen and bathroom block of No. 3 is severely
fractured at the first floor level and there is a risk of a collapse onto
Hospital Road.
Notices of intention to apply for Closure Orders in Victoria District
Court at 9.30 a.m. on August 23, 1972 were posted today.
