Subcontractors have been unpaid for work on the renovation of Maryborough City Hall after the contracting company they were working for went into voluntary liquidation a few months ago.
GSG Contracting, a Sunshine Coast based company, won the tender for the $550,000 renovation on the heritage-listed building.
Paul Keightly, who owns and runs Wide Bay Floor Sanding, says he worked on the hall for two weeks and is owed payment for half of his contract, worth $21,000.
Mr Keightley says, “I’m a one-man contractor and it has just killed me… I owe between $12,000 and $13,000 for materials to do the job”.
