Elizabeth Street Pipeline Renewal Project Update

The final stage of the Elizabeth Street Pipeline Renewal Project is planned to start on Monday 25 September.

The work will involve:

• Reshaping the road immediately outside the infiltration basin at the corner of Broughton and Elizabeth streets,
• Reinstating grass berms, and
• Sealing driveways.

This work is expected to be completed by 27 October. It was delayed until after winter because trying to complete this work when the ground is cold and saturated was likely to result in quality issues.

The extent of the work means:

• Elizabeth Street will be open only to residents from 25 September and,
• The intersection of Elizabeth and Broughton streets will be closed to all traffic from 2 October until 27 October.

We understand the continued traffic management disruptions and parking restrictions will cause some nuisance for residents and motorists.

Your continued patience is appreciated in the final push to complete this critical infrastructure project, and we thank you for your understanding.

Private Property Separation Works

Local plumbing companies have made steady progress separating the stormwater and wastewater drains in private properties along Elizabeth Street.

If Council staff have not already been in contract to discuss the work required inside your property, we will be in touch before the end of the year.
