Public impacts during construction

Access will be maintained during construction for users of the Scout Hall subject to traffic controls. The park and playground will be closed during construction.  Alternative playgrounds are located at Ballar Avenue Reserve and Kalang Lane Reserve.

The work is being carried out to comply with an Review of Environmental Factors (REF) and a Construction Environmental Management Plan (CEMP). These plans identify construction impacts and how they can be managed. There have been no significant construction impacts identified which will negatively affect the community.

Funding
