Approval to demolish servo

Approval has been given for the demolition of the Mount Gambier Road Ampol service station, known as the Pines Service Station, in Millicent.

An application to demolish the ‘card only’ Ampol service station on Mount Gambier Road in Millicent has been approved.

Permission to demolish the service station was granted on February 2 following an application lodged in January this year requesting the decommissioning and demolition of all buildings on 218 and 220 Mount Gambier Road, Millicent, which includes the petrol station.

Ampol confirmed the plans earlier this year.

“Subject to approval of the development application, the Ampol site at 220 Mount Gambier Road, Millicent, will undergo demolition and remediation works to prepare the land for sale,” an Ampol spokesperson said in February.

“Pending approval of the development application, the demolition will include the removal of all infrastructure, and the remediation works will address the contaminated soil.

“It is expected that the works will be completed in the next 12 months.”
