Traffic impacts

• Single lane closures will be in place on Parker and Swilk streets.

• Traffic will alternate in both directions, guided by temporary traffic lights or stop-go battens.

Driveway impacts

• Private driveways will be blocked for up to 7 days to allow for the works in front of your property. If this affects you, our contractor will contact you to make a plan beforehand.

Business impacts

• There will be some impact on driveways and access as we work in front of your business.

• We will continue to work closely with businesses to manage construction impacts and plan works to minimise disruption.
