Obviously this is for Newcastle, Australia, since it is part of Aussie Zone. We also welcome input from adjoining Lake Macquarie. Keep it clean and don't be mean.

Key points:

  • David Chandler alleged there was an "absolute heap of danger" at an Adamstown site
  • The CFMEU has compiled a list of concerns regarding safety at that site and another in the Newcastle CBD
  • Sophie Cotsis says there is "absolutely no excuse" for noncompliance in the industry

New South Wales Work Health and Safety Minister Sophie Cotsis says she is shocked by the state of two Newcastle building sites that have been issued stop work orders.

Work has ceased at sites on Brunker Road in Adamstown and Watt Street, in Newcastle's CBD, after NSW Building Commissioner David Chandler raised serious safety concerns.
