Conditions for Demolition

The following regulations must be complied with for the Kerb Security Deposit to be refunded.

• Loading and unloading of steel track machinery on the road surface, without the use of rubber tyres or timbers, will result in no refund of your Kerb Security Deposit.
• Any damage to kerbing or footpaths caused by the demolition must be repaired prior to requesting your refund. If the kerb and/or footpath are not repaired, the cost of repairs will be deducted from the Kerb Security Deposit. If the cost of repairs exceeds the security deposit amount, an invoice will be issued to cover the additional cost.
• Any debris from the demolition, including sand, bricks and timer, must be cleaned from the road and verge area. If this is not complied with, a deduction from the Kerb Security Deposit will be taken.
