Williams Corporation are at it again
6:22am this morning the residents of Perth Street in Richmond were woken by a fleet of concrete trucks and a loud concrete pump filling a foundation on the Williams Corporation constuction site at #58 Perth Street.
No doubt the residents over the back fence of the site in Cumberland Street were also woken, again!
This is the fourth time our neighbourhood has been woken by concrete pours here WELL BEFORE the permitted 7am time when construction noise is permitted in a residential area. The earliest we have been woken to date is 5:50am.
By Williams Corporations own admission on Google, they are not permitted to start work before 7am, yet they have continued to do so.
(Please see attached)
Noise Control have been called on multiple occasions (including this morning), however they have not shut the noise down and in spite of the fact residents have sent through time stamped photographs of construction taking place well before 7am, they have done nothing.
Contact has also been made with the Compliance Unit at the Council requesting that team to intervene as they can schedule a Noise Control Officer to be rostered to monitor the site before 7am on the days when the concrete pours are scheduled - they apparently are advised in advance by the building inspectors of the dates the pours will happen - yet they also have not been proactive in doing so in spite of being well informed of the noise issues that we have been experiencing with this developer.
Please join us in bringing this developer to account.
• Search Williams Corporation on Google.
• Then click on the Review button on their website, and post a 1 star Google rating for,
a) by their own admission not following the Construction Noise regulations (see screenshot of that posting made by them) and,
b) being so completely disrespectful of the residents of our communities ability to actually sleep undisturbed through the night.
I am certain the other communities around their other construction sites will be facing similar noise issues.
Incidentially, Matthew Horncastle and Blair Chappell (Managing Directors of Williams Corporation) were both called two times before 7am this morning advising them of the noise disturbance.
All four phone calls went unanswered.
It is now 840am and neither one of them has called back to make any effort to apologise.
Many thanks.
