  Following concerns raised by some residents, the City has undertaken a further review of the proposed works.

  The City had arranged for the final construction to take place by January/February 2017 which is as a consequence of Contractor availability. However alternative Contractors are currently being sought who may be able to construct the works earlier.

  An upgrade of the temporary treatment to a more robust treatment with water filled barriers, sandbags and signage will be undertaken as a matter of urgency, including the placement of a variable message board until the final treatment is installed.

  Further updates will be provided on the engagement page as the works proceed.

  We apologise for any inconvenience caused.

  Road resurfacing and associated works will commence on 2November 2016 on Waroonga Road, between Stirling Highway and Princess Road. The works will include:

  • Kerb removal: 2–7 November
  • Profiling/site preparation: 8 November
  • Installation of new drainage pits: 9–15 November
  • Kerb preparation works: 15–21 November
  • Road resurfacing: 23 November – 6 December
  • New kerbing works 30–31 November
  • Finishing works 8–13 December

  
  

  Please note that some preparatory works will need to be undertaken outside of these dates and may include kerb removal, capping of reticulation, installation of signage and paint markings.
  

  
  

  When and how long will the works take?

  
  

  Works will be undertaken during weekdays between the hours of 7:00 am – 5:00 pm and aim to be completed within a 7 week timeframe. However this is dependent on the weather and resources and as a result the project could last as long as nine weeks.

  
  

  Access and Road Closures

  
  

  Road closures will be in place with detours around the work site.

  Local traffic will continue to have access whilst closures are in place, on-site traffic controllers will be happy to assist, however there will be periods of time (approximately 4 hours) following the laying of new asphalt road surface where access to your property will not be permitted as the road cannot be driven on as it needs to dry. This also prevents your property from being stained with bitumen.

  Drainage pits

  New soak well pits will also be installed at appropriate locations to avoid clashes with service utilities and for effective road drainage.

  Kerbing & Reticulation

  The kerbing will all be replaced and upgraded with new standard semi-mountable kerbing.

  Where necessary reticulation will be temporarily re-routed. Reticulation in the verge may be damaged during the works which the City will repair.

  Please ensure that you test your reticulation system and report any faults to the City within 2 weeks of the works being completed. After this period the City cannot be held responsible for repairs.

  For further information, please contact Robbie Black, Engineering Projects Coordinator on 9273 3500 or council@nedlands.wa.gov.au.

  Council considers that the works to be undertaken will be of mutual benefit for ratepayers, businesses and road users of the City and your cooperation is greatly appreciated.
