10 Crown land sites demolition and rehabilitation

During the 2022–23 financial year, Crown Lands checked the condition of sites they manage directly. Sixty of these sites were found to be in poor or very poor condition.

This project aims to open opportunities for future community use of Crown land. By clearing these sites, we can create spaces that can be repurposed for various community projects, potentially boosting local economies and creating green spaces that help both the environment and the community.

From late 2024, we'll be:

• conducting environmental and risk material inspections and surveys
• safely disconnecting and capping all services connected to the structures
• demolishing and removing unsafe structures, improving the streetscape, and making areas safer and more pleasing to look at
• after demolition, levelling the sites and adding 10 mm topsoil/fill to support natural regrowth.

The project will:

• open opportunities for future community use of Crown land
• prevent illegal access and occupation of the sites
• create green spaces that help both the environment and the community.

• Traffic and pedestrian changes.
• Noise levels: High at times.

We thank you for your patience and cooperation.
