- No right turn from Lonsdale Street onto Marine Parade.
- Speed will be reduced to 30km/h through the site.
- The one-way system will be extended to include Marine Parade between Lonsdale Street and Hawke Street after Christmas. Our contractors will be in touch with more information prior to making this change.

- At times, access to private property will be restricted. Please advise if you have any specific property access requirements e.g. medical visits, home help, large vehicle access, deliveries or planned works, etc.

- At times, on-street parking will be temporarily restricted while we work in the area.
