The exclusion zone surrounding Townsville’s Suncorp Bank in the CBD has been revoked two days after concerns were raised regarding the safety of the building.
A piece of concrete on the building facade slipped several centimetres and was noticed on Tuesday, which prompted the evacuation of the entire city block.
The entire city was placed into an exclusion zone which covered about 20 buildings.
According to the Townsville City Council, structural engineers organised by the owner of the building assessed the slippage, and removed the exclusion zone Thursday afternoon at 5:30pm.
