    Works to demolish and remediate the former Yeronga TAFE site are now complete.

    The contractor will soon begin removing all equipment and machinery from the site. Traffic control and signage will be in place to advise of any truck movements and to assist road users and pedestrians to move safely around the site during this time.

    The site will then be hydro-mulched as a form of dust mitigation, which will be regularly monitored. Further hydro-mulch will be laid if required in the future.

    We thank you for your patience while these works were completed. Our next update will be in early 2020, once a developer is appointed to undertake construction of the new mixed use precinct.

    In the meantime, if you have any questions about this project, please contact us through the Have your Say website, or email edqengagement@dsdmip.qld.gov.au.

    We wish you all a Merry Christmas and a happy and safe New Year.

    Kind regards
    The Yeronga Project Team

    Above ground demolition on the Villa St Yeronga development site is close to completion. The demolition contractor, Rosenlund Deconstruction Civil Engineering, will now begin the process of moving equipment from the site as the demolition work progresses to completion in mid-March. Rosenlund has advised this will be conducted over a few stages in the coming weeks with all attempts made to minimise disruption to the community.

    The first major piece of equipment to be moved will be a large excavator. The excavator will be loaded on to a steel float and driven by a single truck using the route outlined above. The truck will pass down Park Road, along School Road, down Cardross Street, then on to Fairfield Road.

    To minimise the impact of the relocation on local traffic and to help ensure the safety of local residents this move will occur in the early hours of Thursday morning (21 February 2019), at approximately 3am. The excavator will be loaded into place during normal working hours, however it is possible that residents may hear some noises when the truck leaves the site. The truck will also be accompanied by two pilot vehicles with flashing lights. It is anticipated that the truck will be off site in less than thirty minutes and will then pass down the route indicated.

    Ensuring community safety and any disruption is minimised are the two key priorities. This relocation process will be conducted in accordance with the relevant legislation, regulation and guidelines.
