The Sydney Morning Herald reported that an Erskineville apartment development remains a ghost town more than 12 months after it was completed, with the City of Sydney refusing to allow owners to move in over fears the developer did not properly clean up toxic land underneath it.
The Herald’s revelation that owners have been prevented from living in a fourth Sydney apartment building over safety concerns comes less than 24 hours after an emergency meeting between the state and federal governments over the country’s building standards crisis.
The Zetland, Mascot and Opal Tower apartments across Sydney have all been evacuated in the last 12 months due to major defects.
There are no known defects in the Erskineville development.
