My Department has been advised by the Design and Build Contractors and their Consultant Engineers on this building project that the tanks are located approximately 13 metres from the building. The acceptable tank separation distance for a tank of this size between other gas tanks and other buildings, boundary walls etc is greater than 3 metres.

The remedial works to the windows have been completed.
