Kitchener Street (Verdun Street to Aberdare Road) - Road Resurfacing and Associated Works

The City's subcontractor, Civcon Civil have advised that there will be a delay in this project of two weeks which is to undertake road resurfacing and associated works. The works will now commence on Wednesday 26 April 2017 for a period of up to five weeks. The works will be undertaken between 7.00 am to 5.00 pm, Monday to Friday.

It is noted that minor preparatory works will be undertaken on the 24 April, however this will not impact on the residents and users of Kitchener Street.

Whilst the works are being undertaken, road closures will be required with detours provided. Closures are planned to cease around 4.30 pm to minimise inconvenience. However, we do ask that you consider increasing your commuting times during peak periods when planning your journey.

The operations team on site will endeavour to offer access to your property at all times, however there may be short periods when materials are required to cure. On these occasions the City will ensure contact has been made and suitable alternative arrangements have been discussed.

The kerbing will be replaced and upgraded with a new standard semi-mountable kerb. Where necessary, the reticulation may be temporarily re-routed to allow the works to proceed.

If you are a property owner, it is important that you test your reticulation system and report any faults within two weeks of the works being completed. If the reticulation is damaged during the works, the City will make good any repairs. However, after this period the City cannot be held responsible for further repairs.

The program for the works follow:

• Site preparation: 24 April
• Locate services: 26 April
• Prepare reticulation: 27 April
• Remove and prepare new kerbing for sealing: 28 April to 2 May
• Remove and reinstate drainage: 4 to 12 May
