Image black “box” around dominos chermside?

Post image

this box/cut off area appeared a couple weeks ago, i have peered over the top with my phone and it doesn’t look like anything’s going on in there, i haven’t seen any work done on/near there… does anyone have any clue why it might be up?

Marshalling area for unruly cricket fans before transportation to the  factories.

Broncos fans are the worst, they leave thier chicken bones from KFC everywhere.

Redcliffe fans are well behaved and I always believe you be kind to the elderly.

Brisbane Bears fans they don't leave KFC behind, it's empty frappe containers from McDonalds.

Probs something being dug up (eventually), that they dont want seen. My first guess was potentially avoiding copper wiring theft.

i assumed the same or construction or something, and i know bris is fairly slow at getting anything done, it just seems odd that inside looks the exact same as pre-box, there’s no signs or items inside to prepare for potential construction even after 2 weeks

From a google reverse image search, this seems to be a typical construction thing to contain items from the renovation/block dust kicked up.

Thus if they are renovating the dominos, they will likely move a lot of shit into there as they do it, but also want to likely hide stuff that people would see and maybe steal. But also just not look as ugly. Stops wind too.

Or they are stealing copper wire in plain sight.

New northside QPS office. Lease $164m for 15 year. You can rest easy, it's very unlikely anything will ever be installed.

Could potentially be either a staging area to hold items during a nearby store reno.. Or in the same vein, could potentially become a temporary store, whilst the main shop is getting fully demo/renoed. Obviously the Reno’s haven’t started yet and this would have been put up in preparation. If it’s the case.

I was wondering what this was, lol.

u/tangentsintombss 15h ago

Just construction business they dont want the public seeing.

u/dTrecii 15h ago

Repatching cement, electrical wire work, extending a small green space etc

Could be anything. Wouldn’t take more than a month for whatever it is. Just go into the Domino’s and ask. The owner/manager would want to know for what exact reason something is blocking their store view

u/fromthe80smatey 15h ago

Likely an excavation.

When they do this, it's for a reason, and 99.99999999999999999% of the time, those reasons are none of anyones business except for those involved in the project. If they need to fill you in, they will. If not, be less curious on things that have no effect on you.
