Close call after shop roof collapses

SHOPPERS at Mordialloc Plaza were lucky to avoid injury last week after a section of the roof near Woolworths collapsed.

Emergency services and SES were called out to the Mordialloc shopping centre last Tuesday, 11 March. They were told a person may be trapped under the collapsed roof, but thankfully when they arrived they found nobody was under the wreckage.

The roof collapsed at around 2.30pm. Chelsea SES were among the attendees on the scene – in a statement it said “a large section of roofing has collapsed, landing on the stairway between Main Street and the Woolworths Supermarket.” “The collapse happened just before 2.30 [11 March], and Chelsea SES were called as a Priority One job, with the fear someone may have been trapped.

The walkway is always very busy, and especially at lunch time on a beautiful day, being so close to Mordialloc Beach,” the SES said. “There is a café next to the walkway, with outdoor seating for diners, and amazingly, there was not one person walking through, or sitting at the café. “Green Team are remaining on scene until the City of Kingston Engineer attends, and then they will decide what needs to be done.”
