Construction hours

The majority of works will be undertaken between 7:00am and 5:00pm Monday to Saturday, weather and construction conditions permitting.

Due to site conditions and safety requirements, some out of hours deliveries and works will be required from time-to-time, particularly for the delivery and preparation of large construction equipment and materials, such as girders and lift shafts.

What to expect

• Local traffic changes including lane closures and night works on Hope Island Road
• The use of graders, excavators, trucks, cranes, compaction equipment, vacuum trucks, water carts, hand-held tools, concrete pumps, and lighting towers.
• Construction activities may generate increased levels of noise, dust, and vibration in the area associated with the use of construction equipment. Every effort will be taken to keep noise to a minimum
• Comprehensive management plans and onsite controls have been established to monitor and mitigate impacts of construction, such as water carts for dust suppression
• Safety lighting and reversing squawkers will be in use, however lighting on site will be positioned away from residential properties wherever possible
• The use of machinery including graders, excavators, trucks, compaction equipment, jackhammers and other rock breaking attachments, vacuum trucks, cranes, water carts, drill rigs, and other hand-held tools
• Increased truck movements and workforce on site
• Pedestrian changes in Mangrove Jack Park, as per the map below. We appreciate your patience while we work to build the new Hope Island station.
