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.
