Title: Unrest at new Port Lincoln emergency services Complex
Post by: Bagyassfirey on August 08, 2011, 06:48:55 PM

I see on the channel 9 news tonight that a contractor came in and started ripping up the pavers at the new emergency services complex in Port Lincoln after he has not been paid the $60,000 owing for his work!!

Anyone know any more??

Wow, interesting, wouldn't surprise me, the pen pushers behind this one really screwed up, and I understand they have either left or retired...I think the heads have already rolled so not sure what will happen.

The news report mentioned that the paving guys was a sub contractor to the builder, and had an outstanding bill of $60,000.

Assuming that info is correct (it was on TV, so it must be right!) the issue may have been at the SAFECOM end, or the builder, who has reportedly been paid, hasn't paid the sub contractor...or some other dispute that hasn't been publicised!

could easily have been a problem safecom my ses unit had trouble getting our power bill paid through the share services lot kept on sending bills to region and got told it had been paid then next month another bill would rock up so doesn't really surprise me much that this has happened

I am grateful he started on the path, not on the truck driveway...hopefully it can be resolved.
