flag A Sydney apartment project halted after excavation damaged nearby homes, forcing evacuations and raising concerns over construction safety.

flag Residents in Botany, Sydney, were evacuated from a home after excavation for a $10.7 million apartment project caused structural damage, including cracks and subsidence, prompting a stop-work order. flag The adjacent house, on a sandy foundation with voids, was deemed significantly compromised with risk of partial collapse. flag Construction halted except for stabilization, and the developer must submit a damage assessment by March 5 and provide fortnightly monitoring reports. flag Regulators found no evidence of long-term stability despite the developer’s claims. flag The case highlights growing scrutiny of excavation practices near homes.
