‘Topping out’ ceremony at Leichhardt Centre, Leichhardt

Greenland Australia and principal contractor Richard Crookes Constructions today celebrated the final concrete pour of the first of five low-rise buildings at Leichhardt Green in George Street, Leichhardt. To mark this significant achievement, it is traditional to place a tree on the roof of the completed structure.

The construction team have now finished excavation, piling
