Services and activities will not operate from the building until approximately early March 2024.
The closure is to ensure the safety of users of the building while faulty firemain systems are repaired. We are also working on interim solutions to enable us to reopen the building earlier if at all possible.
Recent investigations have uncovered significant problems with the firemain sprinkler systems and extensive water damage from leaks.
The decision to close the building has not been taken lightly however the safety of the public and our tenants must be our highest priority.
We have engaged contractors to commence repairs from early January. These works will require excavation of the front car park and Tulip Street.
Bayside City Council acknowledges that the timing and notice of the closure is unfortunate and we sincerely apologise to impacted tenants and users for the inconvenience.
