Council Shuts Down Building Site!

Following up on the photo's we sent to Council, we were told that the Supervising Building Surveyor was assessing the situation. On Tues 6th July at 11.00am my wife received an email from Ross Willis saying that a building notice was going being issued against Mehrab-Khani.

At 2.00pm that day two police officers issued him with papers. Mehrab-Khani waved his hands and complained to the police for about 10 minutes. But it was an instant shut down! Workers were paid up and and they took away a cement mixer and wheel barrow and assorted equipment. Ross said that the Building Notice was issued against the retaining wall of Unit 1 by the Building Surveyor. This is the unit on our boundary that I was subjected to abuse and threats trying to get photo's from the public pavement a little while ago.

We don't have any more details on the specifics, but it appears our photo's have come to some good. The back retaining wall at Melville Street side is still to be addressed, and this will become another problem for the developer...a lawyer has been looking at the issue.

We are hoping the floor slab that has been poured to our boundary is the reason for the shut down, but have no other details at the moment.
