Response attributable to Bernie O’Sullivan, Chief Executive Officer, Macedon Ranges Shire Council:
Council can confirm that work has paused on the Macedon Ranges Regional Sports Precinct (MRRSP) as a result of the Lloyd Group going into voluntary administration.
The administrators have written to Council indicating they will be in contact to discuss the project and next steps.
There continues to be a security presence on site during this time and Council is committed to finding a resolution as soon as possible, so construction on this priority project can continue. Fortunately, no other Macedon Ranges Shire Council projects are affected. We thank the Victorian Government and partners for their support of this important project for the Macedon Ranges to date, and our thoughts go out to Lloyd Group staff and contractors, many of whom working on the project live locally or in neighbouring areas.
We will endeavour to provide updates as appropriate.
