What to expect
Due to the ongoing use of this compound, you may notice some intermittent disruptions such as:
- Increased construction vehicle movements on local roads and within the project corridor
- Increased levels of localised noise and dust from the use of machinery and equipment. These impacts will be reduced as much as possible by using the latest in environmental management and construction techniques
- Minor traffic delays. Traffic control officers will be in place where required to maintain the safety of road users, the
community and workers - Operation of security lighting onsite
- Security patrols.
Workers may arrive onsite one hour prior to the planned start time to prepare for the day’s activities.
Every effort will be made to keep disruption to a minimum for residents and businesses in close proximity to the project
site. We appreciate your patience during construction and use of this compound and will continue to update you as work
progresses.
