For many years, water is running from under Maitland Road directly into our properties. Over time the problem has become worse, spreading to neighbouring properties as well as water now vertically coming out of concrete slabs, structural columns and more.
The NSW government together with the Newcastle Council are treating this as “seepage” and have informed us that it does not warrant any action by them. Internally, we have had a wall collapse, subsidence damage is throughout the building, Maitland Road has had subsidence/resurfacing, multiple sink holes in the curb at the front of the building.
