We have extensive mine subsidence damage throughout our properties.
When working with Subsidence Advisory and other agencies, we have been told that there are no mines beneath us, then we have mines beneath us, then the subsidence damage is to be claimed through Legacy Mines, then told that Legacy Mines is not the correct department, and so on.
In 2019 during a Subsidence Advisory visit, inspectors were shown a number of subsidence issues that included road subsidence, kerb subsidence, building subsidence, slab subsidence as well as the water that was flowing from under Maitland Road. Through internal Subsidence Advisory documents, they wrote “no damage to the buildings consistent with mine subsidence was observed or reported.”. This is completely wrong.
Recently, we have been advised by engineers that Subsidence Advisory should have been fixing the repair work since the first signs of mine subsidence occurred, as early back as 2010.
We are still waiting to have meeting with Subsidence Advisory.
