About the Project:
- The aim of this renewal
program is to improve access for pedestrians for the community. These
works will give residents along the streets and the greater area, a safe
pedestrian connection to existing footpath network. The program uses
observed asset condition (proactive) and inspections with urgent need
(reactive) of renewal due to it becoming unserviceable over time.
- The scope of this
program is to renew/upgrade the existing urban footpath assets that are at
are at the nearing the end of useful life, to a modern-day equivalent.
- Modification of
services/pit and associated infrastructure comply or improve asset
longevity (as required)
- Demolition and removal of existing concrete footpath along Church Street between Raywood Avenue and Highland Avenue.
- 1.5 metre pedestrian footpaths along Church Street between Raywood Avenue and Highland Avenue.
- Earthworks and reinstatement.
This project is funded by Bass Coast Shire Council to the value of $42,000.
- Some existing concrete driveways will be replaced with plain reinforced concrete at no cost to the property owner. The reason for replacement of some driveways is to allow the correct cross fall and match new levels for the path.
- Access to your property will be restricted for a four-day period following from when the concrete is poured. This is required to allow the concrete to set properly before any vehicles can use the driveway. Our contractor will advise you, in advance, of any works affecting access to their properties.
- Appropriate traffic control measures will be in place throughout the duration of works, including reduced speed limits.
- Local resident and emergency access will always be available during the construction works.
