Infrastructure Canberra continues to work closely with specialist advisers, remediation experts and contractors following the identification of asbestos-containing material (ACM) within non-occupied areas of the City Health Building at 1 Moore Street.
Following the completion of key cleaning and remediation activities within affected plant room areas, some tenants will be able to safely reoccupy parts of the building on levels 3, 4 and 5 from 7 September.
The ground floor, level 1 and level 2 will remain closed indefinitely while Infrastructure Canberra continues to assess requirements for their future reoccupation.
The health and safety of building occupants, tenants, contractors, and visitors remains the ACT Government's highest priority. All decisions regarding access to, and reoccupation of, the building will continue to be guided by specialist expert advice and independent certification.
Infrastructure Canberra will continue to work closely with partner Directorates to support tenant agencies and service providers in implementing business continuity arrangements and minimising disruption to services while the building remains closed.
Further updates on remediation progress, future works and potential reopening milestones will be provided as more information becomes available.
