The works will take place on weekdays during the hours of 9.00am and 4.00pm and on weekends during the hours of 7.00am and 5.00pm. 

There may be some construction noise and minor traffic delays. The footpath will be closed and detours will be in place to help guide you through the area. There will also be temporary disruptions to driveway access. We will contact the affected properties directly prior to construction.
