Construction FAQs

Once engagement is complete, a detailed design will be developed to establish a project cost. The City will then apply to the Department of Transport for a State Government grant to partly fund the project for the 23/24 and 24/25 financial years.  If successful construction is expected to be undertaken in those years, likely staged over the two year period.

The works will commence at Evans Place connecting Drake Street to May Street and then the work will be progressively undertaken from Broun Avenue to Railway Parade. The works will be undertaken in 8 sections with a minimum of 2-3 section per year.

The bike path will continue  through the crossover of your property. This includes colour and marking of the bike path and will therefore be distinguishable from your crossover (driveway) Any damage to your crossover or driveway will be reinstated to an “as-before” condition.

A crossover is the section of your driveway between the property boundary and the road (including any footpath) that allows vehicles to access the property.

Only where it has been removed during path construction and possibly a short joining length dependent on the driveway slope.

If the project proceeds to construction residents and other stakeholders will continue to have access to their street. 

There will, however, be a time (say 24 hours) when immediate vehicle access to a property is not available e.g. when the path and/or the crossover has just been laid in concrete.

Residents will be advised in advance of when this will happen.

No, the parking will not change, nor the path in the school section, however, to keep the cars from overhanging the path we are considering wheel stops for the cars which can be installed out of school access times.
