December 2024 Project Update
The next construction phase on the Normanby St Reconstruction Project is scheduled to commence in February 2025. This will include construction work on underground services, which is estimated to carry through to September 2025. Once the underground works are completed, roadworks will commence and carry through until 2027.
Construction of underground services is currently in the design phase and the initial planning stages of construction works.
Council is committed to limiting the impact on pedestrian access to businesses/homes as well as limiting the impact on traffic flow and parking during the many stages of construction. When unavoidable impacts occur (so that Council can maintain efficient and safe construction practises), the Project Manager will inform those affected either in person or by letterbox drop prior to works commencing*.
*Two weeks’ notice of works will generally be given, however, in some circumstances this may not be possible due to changes in scheduling and unpredictability when completing underground work (constructing new, renewing and augmenting underground services). Council will also be relying on the availability of other service providers (e.g. Ergon Energy) to complete certain parts of the works, and these schedules may change at short notice.
