Important Notice
We are sharing the following timeline to inform the public about the events that took place last week between 20–24 July 2025. We appreciate your patience and understanding during this time.
Sunday, 20 July 2025
At 10:15pm, a break-in occurred at the nVCC site, resulting in the theft of electrical cable. This caused a significant power outage and damage to the distribution board, affecting Tower Cranes 2, 3, and 4 and basement temporary lighting. A second attempted break-in took place at 3:00am. The electrical team was called back to site to respond. Power was restored to the site compound by 11:00am on Monday. A police report is pending.
Monday, 21 July 2025
Due to the break-in, no construction activity took place. Only Tower Crane TC1 was operational by the end of the day, with half of the usual workforce present.
Tuesday, 22 July 2025
Construction resumed after 10:00am following police briefings. The concrete pour scheduled on that day began later than expected, being mostly completed by 6:00pm (80%), but problems with the supply and density lasted the end of the pour until 9:00pm.
Reduced staff numbers and heightened security procedures contributed to delays. The team had anticipated finishing by 6:30pm based on early progress but unfortunately could not avoid the overrun.
Thursday, 24 July 2025
At 00:07am, a new incident involving trespassing was recorded. Later that morning, a concrete pump left in position overnight was moved between 7:45am and 7:55am to facilitate a scheduled pour starting at 8:15am.
A full site-wide briefing was held to prohibit lifting before 8:00am and to reinforce compliance with Section 61 consent conditions.
We received a report of a loud bang at 4:54am on 22 July, which was detected by our noise monitoring system. A thorough investigation confirmed that no construction activity was taking place at that time, and no staff were present onsite. We are currently unable to determine the source of that sound, and it appears to be unrelated to our project.
During this period, we received concerns about late and early activity and share the above for transparency and accountability. We would like to extend our sincere thanks to everyone for your patience and understanding over the past week. Your support during this time has been greatly appreciated as we worked to manage and respond to unexpected events on site. We remain committed to keeping you informed and minimising disruption wherever possible.
