DANGEROUS BUILDING
Wednesday, July 26, 1972
The building at No. 67 Wyndham Street has been declared dangerous
by the Building Authority.
In a statement issued this morning the Principal Government Building
Surveyor said that the three storey pre-war building had been under observation
since the adjoining building, 69 Wyndham Street, was closed earlier this year.
The demolition of No. 69 progressed to the stage where the flank
wall of No. 67, adjacent to No. 69, was exposed for examination and it is now
seen to be badly fractured and is considered unstable.
The building has been vacated by the residents and as there is a
danger of collapse, notice of intention to apply for a Closure Order in Victoria
District Court at 9.30 a.m. August 23, 1972 was posted today.
