How we will manage our works

These works will generate some noise, dust and vibration. We will minimise impacts to the community by:

  • Using water trucks and dust suppressants where required
  • Positioning light towers away from properties
  • Positioning equipment as far as possible from properties and turning it off when not in use.

Impacts

As with all major infrastructure projects, surrounding communities may experience some impacts during construction. The project will work with businesses and residents to reduce impacts and provide support when needed.

Please contact us on 1800 105 105 to discuss support available if you are impacted by our works.

Local traffic changes

Traffic changes and pedestrian detours are needed to complete these works. Vehicle and pedestrian access to homes will be maintained at all times, with help from traffic controllers when required. Access to businesses will be maintained during business hours.
