The proposed demolition of Ballarats Civic Hall has gone global.

A City of Ballarat planning application to demolish the hall has attracted 1900 submissions from around the world, with the vast majority calling for the building to be retained.

The loss of heritage, wasting ratepayers money and the demolition of the on-site skate park are referred to frequently in the documents, which have been lodged with the councils planning department.

The Courier has started to go through each of the submissions and we found a number calling for the hall to be converted for use as a music venue or tourist information centre.

Prominent identities and organisations are featured including the Twentieth Century Heritage Society of NSW and Art Deco Trust branches in Napier New Zealand, Toronto Canada, Brazil and Sacramento

California.

Other submissions have been received from Ballan, Maryborough, Wangaratta, Geelong, Yaraville, Creswick, Kyneton and Paris.

Adamo Group was presented with the 2014 Environmental Excellence Award from the National Demolition Association (NDA) in February at the NDAs 41st Annual Convention in Las Vegas, Nevada. The Award recognized Adamo Group and 12 other companies for performing demolition projects that demonstrate significant environmental conservation and community improvement.

The Environmental Excellence Awards recognize NDA member companies which are true leaders in the area of environmental stewardship, said Michael R. Taylor, CAE, Executive Director of the NDA. Environmental stewardship is one of the demolition industrys primary missions and these winning projects help illustrate truly dramatic efforts our members have made to make this a reality and improve the quality of life in their communities. By removing abandoned housing, demolishing dilapidated industrial facilities, preparing commercial space for productive reuse, maximizing recycling opportunities, and cleaning up toxic waste sites, demolition companies are making way for fresh vibrant places to grow.

Adamo Group was recognized as an integral part of a project team responsible for the decommissioning and demolition of a chemical manufacturing facility. CH2M HILLs project at the chemical facility is a testament to safe, sustainable project execution in the decommissioning and demolition industry, Taylor said. Since early 2012, general contractor CH2M HILL has orchestrated a project team consisting of Adamo Demolition and four other companies to decommission and demolish facility units and associated infrastructure deemed obsolete or outmoded. The project team has worked safely to decommission, demolish, and recycle more than 15,750 tons of ferrous and non-ferrous metals and has expended more than 240,000 man-hours while maintaining an excellent record of safety and environmental compliance.

Adamo Group is honored to be recognized by its peers for excellence in environmental conservation and community improvement, said John Adamo, Jr. We were able to combine our 50 years of demolition experience and expertise with the project team to successfully and safely complete a challenging project. Everyone involved should be very proud of what we were able to accomplish together as a team.

The Michigan Strategic Fund voted Tuesday to approve $6 million in demolition funds to raze Joe Louis Arena once the Detroit Red Wings move into a new arena on the north end of downtown.

Under terms of the agreement for the demolition funds, the new arena must be built before the demolition money would be freed up for use. The demolition funds would eventually be repaid to the Strategic Fund through new tax revenues captured by the city in the downtown district.

The exact cost of the demolition is not yet known. The $6-million estimate approved Tuesday could go as high as $10 million, although MSF staff said the cost is expected to be closer to the $6 million or even less than that.

After the MSF meeting at Next Energy in Detroit, Michael Finney, president and CEO of the Michigan Economic Development Corp. and chairman of the strategic fund board, said that the state funding for demolition is worth it because the new arena and related entertainment district around it will produce huge new investment in the city.

We do expect that this project will serve as a catalyst, he said of the arena project. And noting the Ilitch family, owner of the Red Wings, has pledged to invest $200 million in spin-off developments near the new arena, Finney added, The project only works if the private development happens, so we think it will be a catalyst, and the way that the deal is structured really helps to ensure that that development happens.

During the public comment portion of the meeting, John Lauve of Holly criticized the MSF fund for not making more information about the project public before voting on it.
