The Mount Roskill Bunnings store has temporarily closed after concerns that its parking lot is prone to earthquakes.

Bunnings temporarily closed Mt Roskill, Auckland after engineers raised concerns about the parking lot’s resilience in the face of earthquakes.

Fences were raised around the car park and warehouse on Friday.

A statement from the hardware chain said the store would close “until further notice as we work through the next steps with the owner and engineers.”

Bunnings NZ director Jacqui Coombes apologized to clients for the shutdown.

Larry Waterhouse is working on his final days at Bunnings Rangiora, one of seven to shut down after the company announced a Covid-19-related decline.

“We are making sure our team is sponsored during this time and will either reposition them in nearby stores or offer individual options that suit them.

“We are working with the owner and engineers on the next steps and will update our customers and the community as quickly as possible.”

The statement stated that their account managers will continue to provide services to commercial clients.

Combs said retail customers have a range of Bunnings stores nearby they can shop at, including Manukau, Gray Lynn, Mount Wellington and New Lynn.

They can also shop online and have items delivered home.

The building is not the first to be closed due to earthquake fears in Auckland.

The Leys Institute buildings in Ponsonby were also closed as they were deemed unsafe in the event of an earthquake.

In late 2019, the buildings of the Leys Institute in Ponsonby, owned by Oakland Council, were deemed unsafe for the occupation and closed.

The 114-year-old buildings are home to the Leys Institute Library and Gymnasium.

Auckland Director of Customer Service and Community Ian Maxwell said the probability of an earthquake in Auckland was low compared to other areas and there was no “immediate danger”, but the council had to ensure the safety of building users.
