The River Street Duplication project is progressing well, with our crews now moving into Phase 6 near Ronan Place.
Phase 6 subsoil drainage works are underway with kerb, gutter and pavement works starting Wednesday 7 July 2021.
During Phase 6 the following changes will be in place:
- Large vehicles may have difficulty turning left from River Street into Ronan Place while new kerb and gutters are constructed. These vehicles should perform a U-turn at the Barlows Road roundabout then use the existing protected right turn lane into Ronan Place.
- Street parking on the inbound side of River Street will be reduced and, at times, unavailable. Visitors, customers and staff are encouraged to park on the outbound side of River Street.
Phase 4 and 5 pavement sealing works have been delayed by recent wet weather and rescheduled for mid-July. Street parking will be unavailable until these works are complete.
The left turn from River Street into Sunset Avenue will remain closed until the delayed Phase 4 pavement sealing works are complete. It will reopen for the Phase 5 pavement sealing works during which the left turn from Sunset Avenue into River Street will be temporarily closed.
Access to the Toyota and Coastal Wholesale car yards will continue to be via Barlows Rd > Westland Dr > Sunset Ave OR Horizon Dr > Westland Dr > Sunset Ave until the Phase 5 work is complete.
Access at the Sunset Avenue and River Street intersection and street parking will return to normal when Phase 5 is complete.
Phase 1, 2 and 3 works are almost complete, with line marking and construction of the remaining kerbside landscaping islands to be finished.
The bus stop that was temporarily relocated during Phase 3 has been reinstated to its original position adjacent to Hibiscus Gardens Caravan Park.
Council thanks the community for their patience as these works are completed.
