Site works

Woolworths will shortly commence works to tidy the site and remediate local contamination from the previous service station operations, which is known to have operated at the site until 1980. There is soil contamination from underground fuel storage and asbestos is also likely in the remaining building.

The full scope of these works include:

  • Demolition of the existing building
  • Removal of old fuel infrastructure
  • Hazardous materials removal, including asbestos
  • Excavation and stockpiling of material
  • Hardstand removal
  • Backfilling any excavations and levelling the site.

These works will be undertaken in accordance with all applicable Council and Queensland Government regulations for the management, storage and transportation of hazardous materials. When the works have been completed the site will be turfed and fenced.
