Government report indicates potential for reactivated sinkhole beneath Wallsend Diggers Sports Club due to coal mine collapse.
A government report obtained by the Newcastle Herald reveals the potential for a massive sinkhole beneath the Wallsend Diggers Sports Club to reactivate months or years after initial subsidence. The report, prepared by John Johnston, the state's subsidence risk evaluation and regulation manager, suggests the sinkhole was caused by a collapse in an abandoned coal mine. Limited data prevents definitive conclusions about further subsidence risks along Fogo Street.
