A suspected gas main break has led to up to 200 people being evacuated from a major hospital and TAFE campus in North Sydney.
It is understood a contractor was working on Westbound Street in St Leonards and reportedly ruptured a gas pipe, causing a leak at around 3.30pm on Tuesday.
A spokesperson for Fire and Rescue NSW told Newswire no one was injured and the gas company quickly turned off the gas.
