The Norwood Cork Tree

Excavation work proceeds. Portable buildings have now been erected around the site and digging machines are constantly at work. Screening around the property has been strengthened.  Some views of the tree appear below.

Demolition seems to have been completed on the site and a large number of portable facilities erected. Owing to the extra screening on the site boundary it was more difficult to photograph the cork tree.

Digging for the new centre is now underway, huge trucks pounding up and down Edward and George Streets. The asphalt remains between the cork tree and Edward St.  I took this photo today.

Photos from 19 July of the construction work on the Coles site around the Norwood Cork Tree.

The River Red Gum on the Coles site is also being preserved by the developer. This photo was taken on Wednesday 7 July 2021, near sunset.  

Digging has commenced for the new development on the Coles site. But the Norwood Cork Tree and the River Red Gum are both growing and flourishing.

Work proceeds clearing the devopment site.
