What to Expect

• Local traffic changes including intermittent lane closures and night works on Hope Island Road
• Construction activities may generate increased levels of noise, dust, and vibration 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 will be positioned away from residential properties where 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 to and from site
• Pedestrian changes in Mangrove Jack Park and along Hope Island Road. Please follow all relevant signage
• The northern pedestrian path near the Hope Island Road roundabout is closed until late May 2025, pending weather and site conditions. During this time, the path on the opposite side of the road will remain open for pedestrian access.
