Workdays

Downer crews work on Monday-Friday Basis, starting on a Monday and finishing on Friday.  This schedule ensures the most productive work can be completed in the shortest possible time, achieving overall finish date earlier and reducing time works will impact residents. Works will commence on the Monday 9 December. Expected work swings are listed below.

• Mon 12 Jan – Fri 23 Jan – Site set-up / Survey, Service Location / Vegetation Clearance
• Tues 27 Jan – Sun 19 Apr – Road Closure / Drainage Construction / Earthworks/ Pavement Construction

Works will occur between 7am – 6pm on scheduled weekdays.  On the weekends if required due to workload, work will commence at 8am on Saturday and Sunday.  On weekends we will look to finish earlier in the afternoon as well, depending on the progress of the work and feedback from the local community and council.

We ask that all residents, drivers and pedestrians, adhere to traffic control signage and road closure direction. Please remain alert and exercise care and caution when traveling across and through the road works during this period.  Speed restrictions will apply, and road users are asked to use extra caution when workers are on site. Access to properties will be maintained during the works wherever practical, with advance notice provided if there is a need to temporarily restrict driveway access.

Some noise disturbance can be expected at times while the works are completed, however every effort will be made to minimise disturbance to local residents and businesses as much as practically possible.

If you have any concerns or require assistance during the construction phase, please contact the Supervisor or Traffic Controller on site or call the number provided. We apologies for any inconvenience and thank you for your patience and cooperation.
