On Friday the 6th of March George Cross (RP Director), Mo Bowyer (RP resident),Malcolm Wood (St. George’s) ,  and Sean Chappell (St. George’s Snr. Construction Manager) held one of their regular liaison meetings – the aim of which is for Regatta Point to raise any issues with the development next door and for St George’s to keep us abreast with progress.

The following are highlights of the meeting:

COORDINATION OF ST.G WORK AND HELIFIX WORK TO RP EAST WALL
All floors are expected to be available for RP contractors to carry out Helifix remedial works from the end of March.  The work is expected to take up to 2 weeks, will be during normal working hours of 8am to 6pm and be very noisy.
GENERAL PROGRESS

• The last concrete will be poured by the end of March, completing the superstructure of the building.
• The next phase of the building around Providence House will have its public spaces opened up, both front and back, by April.
• The crane is scheduled to be removed in July.  This will require weekend working and likely temporary road closure.
• Scaffold and then protective wrapper has started to go up around the oval and connecting building as work commences on the internal fit-out.  Work will continue in this area (which excludes the roadside block that abuts Regatta Point) until the end of November 2015, after which the area will be opened to the public – including access to the side gate for boat owners.
• The tall, overgrown, trees and bushes next to RP wall are to be removed and replaced by low level shrubs.  Security is to be maintained by the implementation of gates at the roadside and riverside end of the development that will be locked overnight with key codes issued to St George’s residents and some boat owners.
• The completion of the rest of the roadside site is expected to be spring/summer 2016.
• No more commercial units have been let.

Next meeting Friday 5th June 08:30am.
