Demolition of Sydney Water depot at Portand St/ Lancaster Rd, Dover Heights

Sydney Water owns the residence and depot currently located at 33 and 33A Lancaster Road, Dover Heights. We will demolish these and turn the site into a work compound with office space and onsite parking for staff.

The demolition of the depot will commence on 25 July 2022 and will take about 2 weeks to complete. All work will happen inside the fenced in area of 33A Lancaster Road.

Asbestos Removal

Investigations by a licenced asbestos assessor have determined traces of non-friable asbestos in the building. This kind of asbestos is considered low risk as it is mixed with cement, so very hard and solid. A SafeWork NSW certified asbestos removal specialists will remove the asbestos inside the building before we start demolition of the building.

An exclusion zone will be set up around the building, to prevent unauthorised access. The building is within the fenced in SW property, which is not accessible to the public. Signage will be in place to inform about the work including contact details. Asbestos air monitoring will be used during the works.
