Following completion of the new Hepburn Reserve, we have found that some parts of the road construction were not completed in accordance with the approved design. As a result, we have requested the contractor to rectify the work. Ace Construction will return to undertake these works in two parts to minimise disruption to local residents.
Minor adjustments to the kerb alignment on the south side of Hepburn Road will happen later this month. The road will remain open with traffic management in place.
During the week commencing 2 December 2024, work will take place at the intersection of Short Street and Hepburn Road. Unfortunately, this will require the road to be closed for one day. We have included a map of the road closure and detours that will be in place at this time.
If you have any questions about these works, please contact us on 9840 9333.

Share Road closure extended to late July - Hepburn Road and Short Street on Facebook Share Road closure extended to late July - Hepburn Road and Short Street on Twitter Share Road closure extended to late July - Hepburn Road and Short Street on Linkedin Email Road closure extended to late July - Hepburn Road and Short Street linkWe're pleased to share that the construction of the new park on Hepburn Road is progressing and on track for completion in mid-2024.
The reconstruction of the road and footpath on Hepburn Road, between Gifford and Walker Streets is also underway. However, we have encountered some minor delays with the road works due to inconsistencies with road levels and the discovery of a sink hole.
As a result, the intersection of Hepburn Road and Short Street will need to remain closed until late July 2024.
We're addressing these issues and working with our contractors to minimise disruptions and complete the project as quickly as possible.
We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause and thank you for your ongoing patience as we complete these works.
Please see the below map of the road closure and required detours.
