DANGEROUS BUILDINGS
The Building Authority today declared two partially-occupied
stone buildings in the abandoned quarry behind the Shaukiwan Police
Station liable to become dangerous.
The Principal Government Building Surveyor said that during
assessments being made in connection with phase one of the landslide
study, the consultants observed that the rock face above these two
buildings was in a highly dangerous condition.
"It is considered that any deterioration could result in a
large rock fall which would endanger the squatters living in the premises,"
he said.
Notices of intention to apply for closure orders of the two
buildings were posted today. The application will be heard in Victoria
District Court at 9.30 a.m. on February 1.
