After the big quake on 04/09/10 (7.1 magnitude), its been seriously damaged. As have many more of the shops in this area.

mackenzie ave - this is five days after the quake - earlier photos on flickr show it developed over some time. Liquifaction - does some strange things.
The bridge on River Road just before the Banks Ave turn off. The bridge approach to the left subsided. Temporary repairs have been carried out but you can still see evidence of the amount of subsidence by the traffic island in the middle of the road.

There was a risk of rocks falling off cliffs behind Redcliffs school following Sept 4th earthquake. A helicopter was used to wash off loose rocks to lower the risk to the school.
