Amity House demolition

The Department of Infrastructure, Planning and Logistics (DIPL) is demolishing the building at 155 Stuart Highway, Parap and clearing the site.

Known as Amity House, the site on Crown land consists of an elevated fibro and brick building and a standalone garden shed.

The building has received significant damage from the presence of termites and is unsafe for occupation.

An independent quantity surveyor assessment shows substantial investment is required to complete remediation of the termite damaged building to be made suitable for use.

To ensure community safety the building will be demolished and the site cleared.

The building contains asbestos which will be safely removed from site prior to works beginning.

Works will take place over 3 stages.

• Stage 1: removal of identified asbestos.
• Stage 2: demolition and removal of the remaining structure.
• Stage 3: grading of the site to the existing storm water drainage system.

Works will commence 25 March 2024 and are expected to be completed by mid-May 2024.

During demolition and site clearance works, access to the Stuart Highway and nearby businesses will be maintained at all times.

All road users and nearby residents are advised to take caution during these works and comply with any traffic management in place.
