Project update: March 2024

Our contractor returned to the Melbourne Hill Road site in mid-February 2024. They are now working to complete the remaining stage three, phase one works.

As a part of the stage three construction, a pipe will be installed across the road at the roundabout of Melbourne Hill Road, Drysdale Road, and Leber Street. The roundabout will be temporarily closed for approximately one week to complete these works.

Construction will continue to take place on weekdays from 7.00am to 4.00pm. The road will be closed in a work zone of approximately 100 metres at any given time. We have construction compounds on site for material storage and signage on site to assist traffic flow in the area. We will begin reinstatement and cleanup works as we complete each 200 to 300-metre section of the road.

To ensure the works are completed as quickly and efficiently as possible, construction vehicles and equipment will be parked in secure areas on Council's nature strip along Melbourne Hill Road, even at night.

Temporary disruptions to driveway access

When the works reach your driveway, there will be a temporary restriction to access your property during work hours, until we complete the work around it. To minimise any inconvenience, our contractor, Kalow Holdings Ltd, will contact you at least 48 hours before to discuss their plans.

Usually, your driveway access will be limited for one to two days, depending on weather and site conditions. However, our contractor will try to maintain your property access after hours. If you need your vehicles during the day, please remove them from your property before 7:00 am. Emergency vehicles will always have immediate access, including access to residential properties.

We thank you for your patience and understanding during construction and welcome any questions or feedback you have.
