Night work will be from Sunday, April 7, until the end of the month. Out-of-hours work is scheduled from 7pm until 5am to reduce the impact on road users at peak traffic times. 

Nearby residents are advised to expect the following:
• Noise from machinery in operation, vehicle beepers and drilling to install temporary barriers.
• Vibrations may be felt in neighbouring properties.
• There may be a slight odour from asphalt and line marking activities.

Where possible, the noisiest activities are scheduled to take place earlier in the evening, but this is not always possible. All work undertaken at night has strict noise and vibration management requirements, and traffic control will be in place at all times. 

Clearing works recommence
Removal of vegetation has recently recommenced to enable works that are required along Seahawk Drive and Leisure Way to allow for the installation of drainage basins and the ground preparation (preloading) for noise and retaining wall works. Necessary vegetation clearing works are also required along Waterside Drive and Waterlily Drive to clear areas identified in the 85% design review and to provide for an improved
footpath connection

Footpath detours
As pre-construction progresses, footpath access will be closed off to ensure the surrounding community's safety and comply with the construction site's workplace health and safety requirements. This will affect some residents and pedestrians who access the estuary from the end of Waterlily Drive. Those accessing bus stops adjacent to Seahawk Drive and Egret Point Road are reminded to use formal access points and not enter the construction areas. These closures will remain in place for the duration of the project.
