What |
We are building new road surfaces, kerbs, footpaths, stormwater drains, landscaping, and adding feature paving. At the same time we will be replacing 33 metres of sewerage pipes on Burgess Street and 100 metres of water mains on Wakefield Avenue. The old sewer and water pipes are at the end of their life span and need replacing before new surfaces and landscaping are installed above them. |
|---|---|
Why |
These enhancement works will improve the functionality, safety, connectivity and amenity of Sumner village by providing new street furniture, landscaped areas, cycle lanes, a paved shared space and crossing points, wider footpaths, road narrowing, and a slower speed environment. |
Where |
Road surfacing and landscaping: Marriner Street and Wakefield Avenue between the Sumner Surf Lifesaving Club and the skateboard ramp. |
When |
19 March 2019 to 31 October 2019. This allows for six months construction and extra time for weather delays and variations |

The contractor is John Fillmore Contractors (JFC) Limited. |
