Conqueror Mill Demolition - Wooden Silos

Council has recently been notified by the Conqueror Milling Company that the planned demolition of the old Wooden Silos will be taking place over the coming weeks.

Development Consent was originally granted for the demolition of a number of buildings on the site, including the silos in 1999 (DA99/1200). Since this time a number of buildings have already been demolished and the silos are the next planned for demolition.

As part of the original Development Consent, a site heritage assessment needed to be undertaken and photographic records of the buildings identified for demolition needed to be created. Council is satisfied that these measures have been adequately addressed and have acknowledged the Mill's demolition plans.
