Infrastructure, Road and Footpath Construction

In the coming months vegetation reduction works will be undertaken along various roads in the Kersbrook and Inglewood areas. This will involve reducing the amount of vegetation growing in towards the road.

Due to the extent and density of the regrowth generated after the Sampson Flat Fire, works will require the use of machinery that will encroach onto roadways.

This means that traffic management restrictions and speed reductions will be in place in the locations of workers at any given time.

Tree pruning works will be undertaken along Mount Barker Road, Stirling, from Tuesday 31 August until Monday 6 September, in three stages to minimise disruptions to road users.

Works will be undertaken between 9:00am and 4:00am daily.

Stage one: Snows Road to Gould Road
Mount Barker Road will be reduced to one lane for west-bound traffic. East-bound traffic will be detoured up Gould Road, across Baeside Road, and down Snows Road.
In the early afternoons Mount Barker Road will be reduced to one lane for east-bound traffic. West-bound traffic will be detoured using the same route.

Both bus stop 39 and 40 will be closed; passengers should follow directions at bus shelters to the closest alternate bus stop.

Stage two: Pine Street to Twin Street
Mount Barker Road will be reduced to one lane for west-bound traffic. East-bound traffic will be detoured up Twin Street, across Milan Terrace, and down Pine Street.
In the early afternoons Mount Barker Road will be reduced to one lane for east-bound traffic. West-bound traffic will be detoured using the same route.

There will be no impacts to bus stops during this stage.

Stage three: Adjacent to Stirling Oval
Speed reductions will be in place along Mount Barker Road; no detours will be required.

There will be no impacts to bus stops during this stage.

Thank you for your patience during this time.

What: This is the first step in the Gumeracha Streetscape upgrade.

What is happening: Council will be undertaking a project to renew a section of footpath, kerb and upgrade stormwater assets in the Main Street at Lobethal.

Why are the works taking place? This section of footpath has multiple trip hazards and defects, the kerb is depressed and shattered and the stormwater system does not manage large rain events. The new footpath and kerb will increase pedestrian safety and upgrades to the stormwater pits will improve collection.

Timing: The project will commence Monday the 15 of March and is expected to be complete by the 9 of April 2021.

Access: During this time speed restrictions and footpath closure will be in place, residential driveways and access to the Lobethal Bakery front carpark will be intermittently effected, the contractor will be available to coordinate work around traffic movements.

Additional information: As part of the works 3 mature Ash will be removed and replaced with 4 Zelkova serrata “Green Vase’ Japanese Elms in new positions to match with recent street scape works in the Main Street.

What: Stormwater upgrade will occur between numbers 32 and 35 Birch Road to better manage stormwater flows currently causing water to run across the road and flooding in residential driveways. The upgrade is expected to address the flooding issue.

When: Works will commence Monday 15 March 2021 and is expected to be completed by the 29 March 2021.

Important information: During this time speed restrictions, short term road closures and lane blocks will be in place. Residential driveways on Birch Road may be intermittently effected and a contractor on site will be available to assist traffic movements.

What: Road repair works along Druid Avenue in Stirling.

When: Works are scheduled to take place next Wednesday 17 February (weather permitting) from 7am – 5pm.

Detours will need to be observed. Additionally, parking adjacent to Miss Perez, Bank SA and the Southern end of Druid Avenue will be unavailable at times.
