Jura has had to close urgently due to damage from demolition works next door at 442 Parramatta Rd, which occurred on Saturday afternoon 20th February 2021. The demolition work punched a hole in our wall and knocked over a large shelf full of books.  At this stage we are unsure what rectification work will be needed to make Jura safe again. Stay tuned for more information in coming days.

Jura will be be closed for the foreseeable future due to COVID-19. Further updates to follow.
