Schedule of work

Once we have a confirmed schedule of work, we will update this page

 

How will this impact the community?

Construction impacts

During our work residents and businesses may notice noise, dust and more vehicle movements in the area. This will be kept to a minimum and we are committed to working with residents to minimise these impacts.

 

Traffic management and detours

 

Traffic management and detours may be required.

 

Property access

 

Access to some properties may be restricted during construction. If access is obstructed, we will get in touch to arrange alternative access.

 

Restoration of impacted areas

Our construction methods mean unavoidable impacts to the verge, kerbs, and the road. We follow through reinstatement process to ensure all impacted areas are replaced like for like, where practically possible. We will work closely with residents and the City of Armadale to ensure all reinstatements are carried out to an acceptable standard.
