Project overview
We are completing concrete repair of the steps and also renewal of the balustrade by taking it offsite for repair and maintenance. MCM will be applying a more modern paint system to the steel elements, ensuring this heritage asset's longevity. Any defective or damaged sandstone will also be replaced with identical sandstone to uphold the heritage values while also improving the structural integrity.
We will work to minimise community impacts during this time, however there will be minor machinery noise during the works.
The safety of everyone is our priority. Thank you for your patience while we complete these important works.
