Details
What this means for you:
- We are adding rock cobble clusters to some sections of the Heathcote River to provide desirable habitat for certain native fish species.
- This work is unlikely to cause any major impacts as most of the work is happening along the river banks.
- There are no road or footpath closures expected.
- The most significant impact is there will be road shoulder closures during the works and in the case of Riverlaw Terrace near Tennyson Street a traffic contra flow will be in place.
Noise
There may be increased noise, dust and vibrations during work but it shouldn’t impact on your power, water, gas or phone services.
Safety
Safety is our biggest priority so please keep children and pets away from worksites.
Bins
Please put your bins out as usual before 6am on your collection day. Our crew will move and return them if needed.
