THREE OVERHEAD CRANES AT SCALI'S WAREHOUSE CHIEF STREET




Hindmarsh residents who fancy heavy duty container cranes are in for a treat when these three beauties get going at Scali's Warehouse. 
Currently stored at the northern end of the site between Chief and West Streets Brompton, owing no doubt to the current Residential Zone in play, they will need the Government's Bowden Village Rezoning Plan to go thru before they can be erected. 
Once the block bounded by West Street, First Street, Chief and Hawker Streets is listed as "Mixed Use" the cranes are certain to become a highly noticeable addition 24/7 to an area which at present is overwhelmingly residential in character.
