How we will manage our works
We will be using equipment that generates medium levels of noise, and elevated dust and vibrations. We will minimise impacts to the community by:
- Keeping Burwood Highway and Highbury Road open in both directions during day-time hours and most nights
- Maintaining access to homes and businesses
- Turning off equipment when not in use
- Applying water during cutting and drilling.
Noise impacts
As with all major infrastructure projects, surrounding communities may experience some impacts during construction. The project will support businesses and residents to ensure people can continue to live, work, study and shop in their local community. Please contact us on 1800 105 105 to discuss support available if you are impacted by our works.
Traffic changes
Traffic changes are needed to complete these works. Vehicle and pedestrian access to homes and businesses will be maintained at all times with help from traffic controllers when required.
