Why is the project needed?

With Logan’s population set to continue growing, we are delivering a record investment in building a resilient and reliable road network.

As a key suburban arterial, the Third Avenue major upgrade will allow more traffic to safely use the road and accommodate future growth from residential and business developments to the south.

What traffic changes will occur during the main construction work?

To help us to deliver the road upgrade quickly and safely, traffic management will be in place around work zones.

Signage will be in place to communicate temporary changed traffic conditions including reduced speed limits, road/lane closures and any detours.

Residents will be advised of any access changes / restrictions to and from residents’ driveways throughout the project as the construction zones change.

We appreciate your patience as we work with our contractor to keep traffic moving safely and smoothly.

I live within the construction zone. How will I access and leave my property?

As a major improvement project, we recognise the upgrade will have impacts on neighbouring residents, road users and the local community.

This means traffic conditions for local access will change throughout the project.

Signage will be in place to communicate temporary changes including access to and from residents’ properties.

Will access to my driveway be affected?

There may be brief times when driveway access will be temporarily restricted for some residents as work activities occur outside or near their properties.

Residents will be notified ahead of any work that may temporarily affect driveway access to ensure suitable arrangements are in place.

Will public transport and school bus services continue to operate during the main construction work?

Translink, local transport operators, schools and school bus service operators will be advised with as much notice as possible to plan service changes and determine access arrangements. Some bus stops and pedestrian access will be temporarily relocated. All changes will be signed.

Will the road works affect my bin collection / postal services / water and/or electricity meter reading?

Council’s waste contractor will be advised of any changes with as much notice as possible to plan services and determine access arrangements.

Residents are encouraged to advise any regular at-home service providers and/or visitors of the current traffic arrangements during the works as needed.

Will any of my services be affected?

Unfortunately, due to the nature of these works, there will be some planned disruptions to services including, water, electrical and telecommunications for brief periods during construction.

Affected residents will be notified of the date and duration of any service interruptions by their respective service provider.

Will there be any night or weekend works?

Construction will generally occur between 7:00am and 6:00pm, weekdays. If works are required outside of these hours, affected residents will be notified in advance.

How will you manage construction impacts such as increased noise, dust and lighting?

Road and infrastructure upgrades often mean increased construction noise, dust and lighting for nearby residents.

We will work with our contractor to reduce these impacts as much as practical including:

• using water trucks or dust suppression agents on site
• directing light away from properties
• conducting most activities as day works to minimise disruption from noise as much as possible. 

Will vegetation on my property / in the road reserve be removed?

Trimming and/or removal of vegetation will be required within the road reserve and on some private properties.

Where we need to trim or remove vegetation on private property, we will contact residents in advance.
