Former Ithaca TAFE, Red Hill

Demolition of the former TAFE makes way for the Brisbane Broncos’ training facility

In 2016, Abyss Demolition served as the Principal Contractor to turn the defunct and redundant Ithaca TAFE Campus into a clear site, fit for building the Brisbane Broncos Training Administration & Community Facility (TACF). Our A Class licenced and experienced asbestos crew removed significant amounts of asbestos prior to demolition. Followed by our team demolishing and removing the decommissioned buildings and retaining walls. Abyss ensured the safety of all stakeholders, including the protection of our precious local flora and fauna. Upon completion, this 5+ acre Red Hill site was cleared and left graded and ready for construction.
