Proposal

Demolition of the magazine buildings is required as the footprint is identified for use for future site development through the construction of additional low-level waste disposal vaults. The demolition of the concrete magazine buildings will enable the opportunity to re-use the concrete and brick demolition waste on site to be realised.
