UPDATE REGARDING BUILDING STRUCTURAL ASSESSMENTS – Tuesday, 8 March 1pm

The SES have undertaken rapid damage assessment of buildings only. This amounts to a general observation only.

Residents and business owners are required to organise their own structural assessments before premises are occupied.

To organise an inspection, residents should seek the services of a qualified structural engineer or a licensed builder to review the structural suitability of the premise(s).

If a building is insured, please contact the insurance agency, whom may arrange an inspection.

Council is unable to assist with these inspections as we do not have enough structural engineers for the large number of properties damaged.
