Notification of upcoming night works / road detour – Piccadilly Road, Piccadilly
Adelaide Hills Council wishes to advise that the following tree works will be undertaken at nighttime on Piccadilly Road, Piccadilly.
Works: Complete removal of eight large dead Eucalyptus obliqua trees (Messmate Stringybarks).
Location of Works: The subject trees are situated within the western Council Road verge of Piccadilly Road (opposite property number 218 Piccadilly Road, south of Gores Road).
Date of works: Thursday 29th August 2024.
Time of Works: 8:00pm – 5:00am (Night works)
Reason for works: The subject trees display advanced levels of decay within their branching structures and significant levels of brittle deadwood projects over the roadway. Complete removal of these trees is required to maintain an acceptable level of material risk for road users. Due to the form and taper of the trees, branch reduction pruning is not a viable management option. The trees are not suitable for retention smaller specimens for the purpose of habitat creation.
Vehicle restrictions / Road detour: To enable works to be conducted in a safe manner, the use of various machinery is required. This equipment will be positioned on the road surface requiring temporary modifications to traffic movements Piccadilly Road. To avoid disruption to daily road users, the tree removals will be undertaken at nighttime with the use of artificial lighting, hydraulic and electric driven chainsaws to minimise noise generated by the works.
Throughout the duration of the works a comprehensive work zone traffic management plan will be implemented. Piccadilly Road users will be detoured around the worksite via the following roads:
- Greenhill Road
- Rangeview Road
- Old Carey Gully Road
- Spring Gully Road
Access to residential properties will be maintained with a secondary detour option available for passenger vehicles via; Gores and Sprigg Roads. We ask you to review the detour locations and plan your trip accordingly.
We apologise for any temporary inconvenience that these works may cause and thank you for your cooperation in this matter. If you have any questions, please contact Council’s on 8408 0400.
Yours sincerely, Damian Brennan – Adelaide Hills Council Senior Arborist
