New images have been released of the demolition that continues inside the former Waiwera Thermal Resort.
The work started on August 14.
Owner Urban Partners says there have been some setbacks, including that there is significantly more concrete on site than was apparent at the outset, due to previous leaseholders laying new concrete slabs over the top of existing concrete.
The company says it is doing everything it can to salvage and recycle as much as possible. This includes some of the slides that have been picked up by Adrenalin Adventure Park.
The resort has been closed since 2018 and all attempts to sell, lease or set up a partnership arrangement have failed.
Urban Partners decided to demolish the failing infrastructure within the resort as it believes a clean site will have greater appeal to potential buyers.
When demolition is finished, topsoil will be laid and grass sown across the site, at which stage the site is expected to once again go on the market.
