Scaffolding at Sydney building site falls onto cars month after wall collapse
No-one was injured when a large section of scaffolding fell onto vehicles on Wattle Street in Ultimo, just weeks after a wall collapsed injuring two men.
On Saturday night, scaffolding at a Sydney building site collapsed onto parked cars, marking the second safety incident at the location in less than a month. No one was injured in the incident, which occurred in the inner-city suburb of Ultimo, near where a wall and roof collapsed last month, seriously injuring two men. The scaffolding gave way due to strong winds, narrowly missing drivers on Wattle Street.
A regulatory notice had already been issued to the site managers following the previous collapse. CCTV footage showed the scaffolding falling, with Lisa, a resident, initially mistaking the loud bang for a sheet of metal being dragged across the street. Macroview Projects, the development manager, has been contacted for comment.
Lisa expressed concerns over the safety precautions and the repeated incidents, highlighting the disruption to nearby businesses.
