Landslip site Highbury Road Mount Waverley

Published on 29 December 2016

A garage wall on a townhouse adjacent to a Mount Waverley construction site where a landslip occurred in July 2015 has fallen down.

The townhouse has not been occupied since the neighbouring construction site collapse occurred and no-one was injured in today’s incident. Props (poles) to secure the townhouse structure remain in place and appear not to have shifted.

Council has issued a 24-hour Emergency Order to the owner of the townhouse to have the props inspected and verified as safe as a precaution. Council has also informed the land owner’s insurer that an Emergency Order has been issued.

Council will continue to work with the property owner and his insurer to ensure the townhouse is safe. The Victorian Building Authority have been notified.
