Project Summary

Bass Coast Shire Council appointed local contractor Wiltrack Earthmoving Pty Ltd as part of Council’s annual supply contracts to carry out culvert pipe renewal works on Baum Road near the Loch-Wonthaggi Road intersection, Ryanston

The aim of this project is to renew the culvert structure and provide protection from erosion of the road at this location.

These works are funded by Council in the order of $130,000 as part of Council’s 2023/24 Capital Works Program.

  • Removal and replacement culvert pipe across the road , including installation of new headwalls, rock beaching and minor vegetation removal.
  • For safety reasons, this will be a construction zone. A road closure (detour plan attached) will be in place throughout the duration of the works. Local access will be through Payne Road. All appropriate works approvals and permits have been approved from the relevant agencies. It is advised to plan your trip accordingly. As always, emergency vehicle access to properties will be maintained at all times through Payne Road.
  • The use of heavy plant and machinery including noisy, and vibration works such as earthworks, saw cutting and use of trucks/crane for delivering concrete/culverts to site.
  • We appreciate that these works may present an inconvenience to nearby properties, and we have asked for their patience during these times. Our contractor will make every effort to minimise disruptions during construction.
