Update 1.1 | Demolition of The Lion's Den

Writer's picture: stmarkscocmelbstmarkscocmelb

Dear Beloved Congregation,


As we continue to work towards Stage 2 of our Future Project, we would like to provide an important update regarding the planned demolition of The Lion’s Den building.


Due to the close proximity of a tram pole located near the building, Yarra Trams has requested further assessments to ensure that the demolition works proceed safely and without impact on the tram network. This additional step is essential for ensuring the safety and well-being of everyone involved and the broader community.


God willing, Yarra Trams representatives will be inspecting the site in the coming days to assess the situation and provide recommendations on how best to move forward. While this has caused a delay in our timeline, we remain committed to advancing the project in a safe and responsible manner.


We will continue to keep you informed as we receive updates and further guidance. In the meantime, we humbly ask that you keep this project and our Parish in your prayers.
