Stage 1 of the Lennox Village Vision project is now underway. Cultural heritage investigations in Ross Park, Lennox Park and Ballina Street are expected to be completed by mid-October.
The following works will commence from Monday 11 October 2021:
- Underboring and installation of new drinking water mains.
- Installation of new stormwater pipes and gross pollution traps in Ross Park and Lennox Park.
- Minor landscaping works in Ross Park.
The above works are expected to take eight weeks to complete (weather and site conditions permitting).
During this time the following changes will be in place:
- Removal of carparking in Rayner Lane adjacent to Ross Park.
- Footpath changes and pedestrian detours.
- Parking will be reduced and may, at times, be unavailable in front of businesses. Council encourages local residents and visitors to use alternative parking and walk to Ballina Street.
- Council’s project team will liaise with businesses to maintain customer and delivery access where possible, or provide alternative access points.
- Noise will be present during construction, this will include concrete saw cutting of existing surfaces. Construction will be Monday to Friday (7am – 6pm) and some Saturdays (8am – 1pm). Works may also be required out of hours.
Undergrounding of electricity works are tentatively scheduled to commence between 11 and 18 October, and will take approximately 8 to 10 weeks to complete. Impacted residents and businesses will be notified once a start date has been confirmed.
Council apologises for any inconvenience caused and thanks the community for their patience.
