With construction set to resume across large parts of Sydney today, Liverpool City Councillor and Labor Candidate for Mayor, Nathan Hagarty, has called on the State Government to lift its construction ban in Liverpool.
Councillor Hagarty put forward a motion at this week’s Council meeting requesting the NSW Government allow construction to resume and workers in the LGA to get back to work.
“I’ve been overwhelmed with phone calls, emails and messages from residents who’ve been stood down or let go. They’re struggling to put food on the table and keep a roof over their families’ heads. They don’t want government assistance, they want to get back to work.
“Liverpool is a growth area with massive construction demand in the CBD, our growing suburbs and at the airport.
“We have construction ready to go and we have construction workers ready to get back on the tools. If it can be done in a COVID safe manner, it should be allowed to resume.
“At the very least, just allowing surveyors on site would keep things ticking over. Then through mandatory check-ins, social distancing and a reduced workforce allowed on site, we could get things going again. A reduced workforce is better than no workforce.
“Construction wasn’t halted in Victoria and has been allowed to resume in other parts of Sydney, but once again Liverpool and the South West are being unfairly singled out,” Councillor Hagarty said.
