Contact

The contractor is JFC Limited. Phone 03 343 1057 (Main Contractor) between 8.30am and 4.30pm Monday to Friday. Please advise us if you have specific property access requirements e.g. medical visits, home help, large vehicle deliveries, planned works.

We'll be working hard to make sure construction work causes the least amount of disruption possible.

Hours of work:
• Day shift work is from 7am to 7pm (Monday to Saturday)
• Night shift work is from 7pm to 11pm (Sunday to Friday)

Day shift work includes: kerbing, footpath, signals installations, preparation of berms.
Night shift work includes: line marking, road surfacing, kerbing, and signal pole installations.

During all shifts:
• There will be some noise disturbance;
• Some on-street parking may be temporarily unavailable;
• Temporary road shoulder and lane closures will be required to undertake the work safely;
• There will be temporary delays through some intersections, specifically Smith Street and Hopkins Street.

Work will happen in stages and in specific locations. This means we will be working on multiple work fronts to complete the works.

We plan to start work at the beginning of April 2019, but the start and completion date depends on the weather.
We need fine weather for road surfacing and line marking. Work is expected to be completed by the end of June 2019.

Please contact John Fillmore Contracting Limited if you have access requirements or would like some more information.
