DIT Works Notification - Tree Removals - Onkaparinga Valley Road Oakbank

Adelaide Hills Council wishes to advise that the following works will be undertaken as part of the Onkaparinga Valley Road - Oakbank Bridge upgrade:

Contractors working on behalf of the Department for Infrastructure and Transport (DIT) will be undertaking various tree removals adjacent to the Onkaparinga Valley Road Oakbank bridge upgrade. As part of the bridge development a new portion of the Amy Gillett bikeway will be constructed to provide cyclists with separation from vehicle traffic as they pass over the creek crossing.

Adelaide Hills Council supports the removal of these trees to facilitate safe pedestrian access and road safety improvement works. The subject trees are introduced species and display various undesirable structural traits and poor overall condition, due to an extensive history of powerline clearance pruning works.

Location: The trees are situated within the western council road verge directly to the south of the new bridge crossing.

Date of Works: Tuesday 15th August 2023.

For further information regarding these works please contact the Department for Infrastructure and Transport 1300 872 677.
