  Roads2000 have been contracted to undertake road resurfacing and associated works in Taylor Road for a five week period commencing on 23 January 2017. These works will be undertaken during weekdays between the hours of 7.00 am to 5.00 pm.

  Road closures will be required with detours in place. These closures will cease at approximately 4.30 pm each day to minimise inconvenience, however we do ask that residents consider increasing their commuting times during peak periods.

  Access to your property will be available at all times, however there may be short periods when access cannot be permitted. On these occasions, the City will ensure that contact has been made with you and suitable alternative arrangements have been agreed.

  The kerbing will also be replaced and upgraded and where necessary the reticulation will be temporarily rerouted to allow the works to proceed. If the reticulation on your property is damaged during this process, the City will make good the repair. However it is important that the reticulation system be tested and any faults be reported to the City within two weeks of the works being completed. After this period the City cannot be held responsible for repairs.

  The works will include:

  Drainage	23 to 31 January 2017
  Kerb removal	31 January to 2 February 2017
  Profiling works	6 February 2017
  Asphalt corrector	7 February 2017
  Spray sealing	8 February 2017
  Kerb installation	10 February 2017
  Concreting	13 to 14 February 2017
  Brick paving	3 February 2017
  Backfilling	15 to 17 February 2017
  Asphalting	20 February 2017

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

  If you are affected or potentially affected by this project, please contact Paul Beasley, Engineering Projects Coordinator, telephone (08) 9273 3625, or email pbeasley@nedlands.wa.gov.au or contact the Contractors, Roads2000 on (08) 9202 0800 or projects3@roads2000.com.au.

  The annual customer satisfaction survey for participants in the Nedlands Affinity Club has now closed. The survey aimed to identify the level of satisfaction with the service provided to its members, in particular the activities program provided along with receiving suggestions for new activities as a way of engaging long-term and new members to our Club.

  The Nedlands Affinity Club is part of The Nedlands Positive Ageing program which was formed to offer health enhancing activities that are stimulating and at a nominal cost.

  The Club offers the opportunity for seniors to sample something new and make new friends. It has a 'can do' attitude to life and enhances the wellbeing of our members. Members participate in weekly and monthly activities, which range from a walking group, to table tennis, yoga, Tai Chi, line dancing to iPad for seniors. Talks are held with members of the community, members see movies together and attend social events.

  Feedback will be collated and considered as part of the planning of activities for 2017. The outcomes of the survey and updates will be provided on the News Feed tab on the engagement page.

  If you are not familiar with the Affinity Club, please check out the latest newsletter on the City's website. You may wish to join, or alternatively, please contact Marita Gardener, Community Service Officer (Positive Ageing), by emailling mgardener@nedlands.wa.gov.au, or telephoning (08) 9386 9803.

  The City would like to inform all residents the current resurfacing and associated works have been put on hold due to a potential underground cable relocation by Western Power.

  Western Power has identified underground cables in the drainage pit on the north-east corner of Lyons Street and North Street, and are currently considering solutions for relocation. The City is working with Western Power to coordinate the works to minimise disturbance to rehabilitated areas.

  We appreciate your patience as we work towards implementing a solution as soon as practicable and apologise for any inconvenience experienced during this period.

  Works to be completed include:

  • Installing pram ramps
  • Connecting the footpath from Lyons Street to North Street
  • Laying asphalt final surface
  • Finishing works

  When is this happening?

  Until the extent of the works has been confirmed by Western Power the City is currently looking at a completion time frame of approximately three months for the relocation of these cables.

  During this period, the road will be opened as normal, however traffic management signage and cones will be placed in any areas not yet complete.
