The Smash Repairs shop and house at rear 2006
Budgewoi Smash Repairs was on the corners of Natuna Ave and Scenic Drive Budgewoi. The business appears to have still been running in 2006 when the first photograph on this page was taken. Some time in the past the place is said to have been an ESSO service station but the information and images I had hoped to have on that have yet to appear
.
By 2009 both the house at the rear and the business premises were well on their on their way to being demolished. In the photograph to the right the house has been recently burnt out and were the other building included it would show signs of vandalism.
By the middle of 2011 both buildings had been demolished and the property surrounded by a fence and left. Information suggests the uses of the premises left them severely polluted (or there is an expectation of certain chemicals in the ground) and the earth has been left fallow to allow them to dissipate. Hence the safety fence and lack of progress on sales or new buildings.
The property sits fallow with a fence around in 2011
