Minor works

Please be advised that Council are undertaking road reconstruction works on Deakin Street, Kurri Kurri (between Mitchell Ave and Lonsdale Pl) according to the below schedule.

Works underway from 6.30am to 4.00pm Monday to Friday, commenced 14 October and continuing for approximately 3 months. Works may also be undertaken Saturday's from 7.00am-1.00pm, if required. Please note weather conditions may impact project completion timeframes.

What we are doing?

Council is reconstructing the existing road pavement, driveways, kerb and gutter.

What to expect during this time?

During work hours there will be an increase to construction vehicle movements within the area and a subsequent increase to construction related noise.

Traffic guidance schemes will be implemented for the duration of the project to assist with management of local traffic through and around the works area. Residents are reminded to adhere to speed limits and follow directions of traffic controllers and signs.

 Disruptions to driveway accesses are to be expected in order for kerb and gutter and road pavement to be constructed past each property frontage within the work zone, however the construction team will endeavour to minimise the duration of these disruptions by breaking the work down into smaller stages and providing temporary ramps where possible and appropriate.

How can I help?

Staff on the ground will do their best to complete these works as quickly as possible. If you have any feedback on the process or works being undertaken, please contact Council’s Customer Service Department on 4993 4100.

We appreciate for your patience and understanding during this time.
