Coronavirus
Front Elevation of Block 02 and Main Road
Works are continuing to progress to the works, despite the impact of the Covid-19 outbreak, which has limited the supply of some key materials and trades. Although most of the material supply issues have been overcome the project is still susceptible to operatives testing positive for the virus, and having to self-isolate until given the ‘all clear’.
