Scaffolding finally coming down from the Sydney Building!

sydney building fire

IT’S been around a year and a half since fire gutted Civic’s iconic Sydney Building on East Row.

Thankfully at long last the scaffolding is coming down and the revamped building is looking better than ever!

The next excitement will be seeing what businesses take up the spaces.

Denizens of the bus interchange will no doubt be thrilled to have the footpath back.

They’ve done a great job restoring this iconic building, looks great especially the way they have restored the parapet wall and roofing.
