ADDITIONAL WORKS NOTICES:
Demolition on Buildings 1, the remainder of Building 4 and the Commercial Area
Scaffolding works are scheduled to commence on Monday 27th October and demolition works are scheduled to commence from Monday 3rd November. To ensure these works proceed efficiently and safely, we require your cooperation with a few important matters.
The balconies planned in this stage of work are those in Building 1, the remainder of Building 4 and the Commercial Area. The balconies facing the external boundary of 23 George Street will be completed first. See the diagram below for your reference.
The driveways to the garage will still be accessible.
Scaffolding in the commercial and daycare areas will be dismantled once the demolition works are complete. A stair tower will still remain in place to provide access to the balconies above. Renay will ensure the area will be securely hoarded and all necessary safety measures will be maintained.
Demolition works in the commercial and daycare areas are scheduled to take place on Saturdays over a period of 2 to 3 weeks. You will notice increased noise on a Saturday for the short term to allow for the demolition.
We kindly request that you remove all personal items from your balcony before Sunday 26th October 2025, if your ground floor balcony is within the highlighted area above. This is a necessary safety measure to provide clear access for the demolition team and to prevent any accidental damage to your personal belongings during the work.
During the demolition project, access to balconies through the sliding doors and to your balcony will be temporarily restricted while work is actively being conducted in your vicinity. For safety reasons, we ask that you please keep your doors closed and locked until you receive further notification that it is safe to access your balcony again.
Please be aware that the external entry doors in the active work zone will be locked. Access to these areas will be via the basement or an alternative entry door. If you need a fob key to the garage, please contact Strata and the Building Manager to assist. If an alternative access becomes available, we will let you know as soon as possible to minimise the impact of these works.
Additionally, please be aware that the demolition process, which includes the removal of existing tiles and the substrate beneath them, will require the use of power tools. This will unfortunately result in significant noise levels during the designated working hours, which are Monday to Friday from 7:00 am to 5:00 pm and Saturday from 8:00 am to 2:00 pm. Renfay will make every reasonable effort to minimise noise levels whenever possible.
We understand that these necessary works may cause some temporary inconvenience, and we sincerely appreciate your understanding and your prompt attention to preparing your balcony as requested.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How long is the phase that involves my unit?
Buildings 2 and 3 are scheduled between May 2025 and November 2025. Buildings 1 and 4 are scheduled between September 2025 and July 2026. Buildings 1 and 4 will take longer due to the amount of balconies and entry ways in this area. Please note that the dates provided do not account for inclement weather conditions that delay construction but the builders will be working hard to maintain the dates as much as possible. The project is anticipated to be completed and site handed back in July 2026.
Q: Do we just lose the courtyard and/or balcony for our stage or the duration of the works?
You will not have access to the courtyard and/or balcony for the duration of the remediation works for the stage that your unit is in. While we empathise with residents on this impact, unfortunately due to safety reasons, access can not be provided.
Q: Will work only happen externally?
While works are external, all interior items that are unfixed need to be moved 1m away from the courtyard and/or balcony doors to ensure access to install the protective covering. This includes curtains and blinds. This is to ensure all personal items are undamaged.
Q: Are we expected to remove all furniture from the balcony and relocate it?
Yes, it is the resident’s responsibility to ensure that all furniture, plants and other items from their balconies are removed prior to the dates where access is required for Renfay to undertake the remedial works in their stage of works.
Q: Will work affect all balconies of my unit or only a certain side?
The works will affect all balconies on the ground floor. All windows and doors will need to remain locked when the protective covering is not in place to ensure compliance with WHS.
If you have two balconies in your home on the ground floor, please note that work will only occur on one balcony at any given time. Renfay’s schedule will clearly indicate the areas that will be impacted. Have a look at the Notice of Demolition on the right side of this page to check the current work areas.
Q: What is the protective covering and what will it impact?
The protective coating is to allow the door and glazing suite to be removed so the new waterproofing membrane can be installed under the door. This will mean that there will be limited natural light and ventilation coming from your balcony doors during the works.
Once this is completed, the door will be reinstated, and the temporary protection will be removed. Access to the courtyard and/or balcony and opening of the door will be restricted for the length of works on the stage of works in which your unit is in.
While we empathise with residents during the period of construction, an alternative is not suitable as this is required to fulfill WHS obligations under the WHS Act and Regulation. Should the protective covering be altered in any way, it would pose significant WHS risks for all parties involved.
If you have children or pets, please let us know via the Communication Channel https://tinyurl.com/StrathviewComm or email us at strathviewproject@izzat.com.au so we can ensure additional measures are taken to secure the area for safety precautions.
Q: How long will the protective covering be on?
Each door to the courtyard and/or balcony will have a temporary hoarding/protection installed for approximately 10 days.
Q: When will we be able to open the doors again?
You will be able to open the doors to the ground floor courtyard and/or balcony once the phase is completed.
For WHS reasons, all ground floor doors within the current work zones must remain locked. This is to mitigate any potential risks, especially concerning children and pets on site. While doors will be locked, you will still have access to windows, which you are welcome to open outside of Renfay’s work hours and on rain days when works are not occurring on site.
This is just for the ground floor homes in the current work zone.
Q: How long will the doors be off?
The doors will be off for approximately 2 weeks.
Q: Will I need to provide access through my apartment during any stage of these works?
Renfay will access the unit from the courtyard and/or balcony for installing the protective covering and door removal. Doors will need to be left unlocked when they are removed. Renfay will also need access for any make good works. You are more than welcome to be home while these works are undertaken.
Q: What time will the works be?
The majority of building works will occur during standard working hours (7am to 5pm, Monday to Friday). Selected trade personnel are well experienced in working within live environments and will be trained to have the highest regard for tenants and the general public to ensure their safety throughout the project.
Occasionally Renfay will be required to work Saturdays 8am to 4pm.
Q: Is smoking or vaping allowed on site?
The site strictly prohibits smoking and vaping. Smoking and vaping are only permitted at the designed location offsite. This is reiterated in the tool box talks.
Q: Do the builders clean the site?
They sure do! The team will keep the site in a tidy condition to ensure cleanliness and to maintain safety and WHS.
