Roadworks update
Urban Patching works have commenced in town, with completion expected by Monday, March 7, weather permitting.
Local traffic will be managed around the affected intersections to minimise disruption to traffic and adjoining businesses during this time.
Residents and businesses are requested to exercise caution at all times when around the work area and to follow the instructions of Traffic control staff on site.
A temporary bus stop relocation is in place to accommodate for the intersection upgrade of Currajong and Church Streets.
The bus stop at the intersection of Church St and Jansen Lane has been temporarily relocated to the footpath directly outside the Red Cross Centre at the Western end of Church Street.
The works are scheduled to be completed by Friday 29 April 2022. Council appreciates the understanding of residents and businesses during these works.
