One of Western Australia’s largest building firms, Cooper and Oxley, has suspended operations because of financial viability issues, leaving many subcontractors out of pocket and the company’s future in doubt.
Work has stopped at major projects all over the state, leaving many subcontractors unable to collect their machinery and tools from locked construction sites.
One such project put on hold is a 101 million dollar development in Subiaco, which is believed to have contributed to Cooper and Oxley’s financial issues.
