Reason for works: Removal of dense Acacia pycnantha (Golden Wattle) and eucalypt regrowth from within the road verge areas is required to maintain sufficient road envelope clearance and to improve vehicle sightlines.

Vehicle restrictions: To enable the works to be conducted in a safe manner, closure of the listed roadways will be required. Throughout the duration of the works, a work zone traffic management plan including detours will be implemented. Access for emergency services will be maintained during the works.

Residents of properties in the affected area will still be able to access their properties but are advised that delays may occur. To avoid disruption, we ask for impacted residents within the affected areas to review the location of the worksites and select the appropriate access point.

We apologise for any inconvenience and thank you for your cooperation in this matter. Should you require assistance for any special circumstances during the works, please contact Council’s Arboriculture team via arboriculture@ahc.com.au or call 0447 401 183.
