To facilitate this work, site fencing will be set up with the entire footpath may be utilised. As a result, pedestrian routes will be adjusted and may include temporary detours onto the road shoulder, which will be clearly marked.

Please refer to the following maps to see the work area and contingency plans.

• Alternate traffic, parking and pedestrian movement will be in place
• Parking spaces may be affected during service location works for construction access
• Business access will be facilitated by the contractor
• There will be no planned disruptions to services as a result of these works
• Potential noise pollution due to machinery
• Fencing will be in place for any open excavations, otherwise pedestrian areas will be reinstated where reasonable

Every effort will be made to reduce disruptions during this time, and we thank you for your patience and cooperation.
