Blackbutt CBD Streetscape and Footpath Upgrade – Update 24 June 2022
Centre Median works along Roy Emerson Way (Coulson Street) are now taking shape and the project is entering the final phase as it moves toward completion in early July.
Works achieved this week included completion of timber planters in the Centre Median Work Zone and the planting of the new street trees to all centre median garden beds. Application of the new decorative surfacing commenced this week on the concrete footpath in the First Work Zone.
Application of the decorative surfacing is expected to be completed in the First Work zone next week. The contractor’s surfacing team will then commence application within the Second Work Zone. New line marking is planned to be completed as night works during the evenings of Sunday 26 and Monday 27 June. The construction of the timber shelter within the centre median will also commence next week. The ability for vehicle access to property and business driveways will be impacted for short periods while these works occur. Council apologises for any inconvenience and will endeavour to keep impacted businesses and properties updated as these works progress.
To maintain public safety some restrictions to vehicle parking and pedestrian access are expected, however, these impacts will be limited and allow continual business access as construction progresses along Coulson Street. Construction noise is expected through the course of these works.
Site works and construction activity will generally be performed Monday to Friday – 6:30am – 5:00pm and Saturday – 7:00am - 5:00pm, with the project expecting to be completed by July 2022.
Line marking will be performed as nightworks between 8:00pm and 6:00am during the evenings of Sunday 26 and Monday 27 June 2022.
