These works are aimed at reconstructing the road and drainage network in our city following the major rain event of 2022.
This project is jointly funded by Commonwealth and State Governments’ Disaster Recovery Funding Arrangements (DRFA) for the Restoration of Essential Public Assets and the programs Betterment Fund.
What is happening?
We are upgrading approximately 1.4 kilometers of Greenbank Road, heading south from Andalusain Drive down to just north of Scott Lane.
This means a smoother road with wider lanes and shoulders and improved flood resilience to keep you moving.
Pavement reconstruction works will include:
- raising the road in some sections to improve flood resilience
- widening lanes and building wider shoulders
- reconstruction of the road pavement and excavation works in some sections
- improving drainage
- removal of vegetation and tree clearing within Council Road reserve as required.
We have appointed a contractor, Alder Constructions to undertake these works.
When is it happening?
Main works are expected to commence mid-August 2024 and are expected to be completed by December 2024, site and weather conditions permitting.
Works will generally occur Monday to Friday, between 6:00am to 6:00pm. Should works extend beyond these hours, we will notify affected residents.
Project impacts
- Changed traffic conditions including reduced speed limits, short term lane closure and detours (as needed).
- Increased noise, dust and vibration.
- Temporary disruption to driveway access. Affected residents will be notified in advance.
- Clearing of trees and vegetation where required.
Frequently asked questions
How many trees will be removed and why?
Unfortunately, we need to remove some trees within the road reserve as part of the works.
This is due to constraints related to construction activities required for road and drainage upgrades.
Will the trees be replaced and if so, how?
We understand how much the community values trees in our neighbourhoods. Trees provide multiple benefits including shading and cooling, habitat for wildlife and improved visual amenity and increased property values.
Maintaining natural assets within infrastructure corridors is important, and our project teams seek to minimise tree removal as much as possible. Trees are only taken out where all alternative options have been explored.
To ensure the values from trees are maintained where removal is necessary, appropriate substitute trees are planted in replacement. As part of this project, we’re aiming to undertake canopy replacement in line with Council’s Tree Management Policy. The new trees will be planted after construction is complete, as close to the original location as possible or elsewhere within the community. In time, they will grow to become valued natural features and provide the benefits mentioned above.
What type of trees will be planted?
The tree species will be selected by our Parks branch once works are complete and replacement planting locations determined.
What happens if tree clearing affects my property?
Where we need to trim or remove vegetation on private property, we will contact residents directly.
