'Chaotic scenes': Two hospitalised after 'significant' Sydney building collapse The recent collapse of a building in Ultimo, Sydney, has left two people hospitalized and raised questions about the safety standards in place for construction sites.
This incident is not an isolated event but rather a symptom of a broader systemic failure.
The building was set to be redeveloped into a five story student accommodation complex, a project approved by the City of Sydney Council in 2020. The $9. 5 million proposal included demolition and excavation works.
