The Shire has been advised that demolition works at the old BP site at 1 Johnson Street, Bruce Rock are commencing this week.

Contractors will mobilise to the site from Monday, 14 September, with the decommissioning and demolition works expected to take approximately three weeks. The works involve the demolition and removal of the former service station infrastructure, including above and below-ground structures.

Temporary fencing and signage will be installed around the work area to restrict unauthorised access, and demolition plant, trucks and other machinery will be operating in and around the site throughout the works.
