“The building was evacuated, and no injuries have been reported as a result of the explosions,” NSW Police said.
A building on the same street was later reported on fire.
“Police were told that a man entered the office before allegedly lighting a fire and fleeing the scene,” police said.
Paramedics treated a 54-year-old employee for smoke inhalation, with no other injuries reported.
Investigators now “wish to speak with a man seen in the area at the time of the incident”.
He is described as aged in his 60s and of short stature with a chubby build.
He was wearing an all-black face covering, a black t-shirt, dark pants and shoes, and a dark cap.
Donnison St remains closed in all directions, and the community is urged to avoid the area.
