Today (Friday 31 March 2023) Council was informed that the principal contractor working on the construction of the Crookwell pool project, Lloyd Group, has entered into voluntary administration.
“Sadly Upper Lachlan, like several other Councils and schools, has been caught up as yet another builder going into administration,” Mayor Pam Kensit said.
“This is such a complicated area of commercial law and we’ve only just been notified so we are still processing this news.”
Acting General Manager Alex Waldron said she was also disappointed by this news.
“This is disappointing and extremely stressful for anyone caught up in it, but I want to assure the community that Council is committed to finishing the project,” she said.
Council will work with Lloyd’s appointed administrators, Deloitte’s, over the next few weeks to secure assets and find a path forward.
