Trading Goes On During Revamp

"STOCKLAND is about to begin demolishing part of the Glenrose shopping centre before remediating the contaminated site. . .

In 2007 the groundwater under part of the shopping centre was found to be contaminated by various substances, including chlorinated hydrocarbons, that may be the legacy of a former dry-cleaning business in the centre."

Banned Brunswick units tipped to come down

"A DERELICT apartment block that has blighted a Brunswick street for seven years is set to be torn down.

An application was lodged last week with Moreland Council to demolish the 49-unit block on contaminated land at 227-231 Barkly St - adjacent a park east of Barkly Square Shopping Centre.

The Environmental Protection Authority said a full-scale clean-up was due in “the next few months”.

The announcement marks a milestone in a long and expensive saga.

It began in 2003 when the EPA, on the units being completed, banned them from being occupied until chemicals associated with dry cleaning, including degraded white spirit and naphthalene found in soil and groundwater, were cleaned up.

The development has been subject to a long and ongoing legal case: developer Premier Building and Consulting sued Spotless, whose subsidiaries ran an industrial dry-cleaning business next door from 1963-1992, for causing the contamination. Spotless Group now owns the site."

"Justice Byrne ordered Spotless to pay between $3 million and $4 million to Premier Building and Consulting for the clean-up of a residential development in Barkly St, Brunswick, next door to a former dry-cleaners operated by the company."

"It's claimed chemical pollution left new apartments uninhabitable", writes Michael Davis From: The Australian October 10, 2006 12:00AM

"In a landmark dispute, the private company that developed the apartment building, Premier Building and Consulting (PBC), is suing 10 defendants, including Spotless Group, one of Australia's largest cleaning companies, for an estimated $12 million.

PBC claims a dry-cleaning business run by Spotless for more than 20 years contaminated the site on which it built 49 new apartments. . .

Spotless is understood to have operated about 50 dry-cleaning sites around the country, and if similar clean-up costs were incurred at every one, the company could be out of pocket by as much as $300 million, the source said."
