Another apartment block evacuated
It has been revealed that another apartment tower in Sydney had to be evacuated due to building defects and has now been empty for eight months.
Sydney City Council said it became aware earlier this year that a building in Zetland in the inner east was evacuated by its owners in late 2018, due to extensive water damage and subsequent faults with the fire alarm system.
The NSW Opposition said the revelation showed there was a systemic problem with the building system.
In December last year the Opal Tower in Sydney’s west cracked and had to be evacuated, and Mascot Towers in the inner south remains empty after its evacuation in June also due to cracking.
