Distributor Road Improvement Project

As at late June kerb and channel works have begun in the section of Summerhill Road between Ballarat Road and Eden Street to improve drainage and driveway access to properties.

These works will take around three weeks to complete, weather dependent.

There will be some noise and dust from the use of heavy machinery and breaking up of the underlying rock.

Our contractors will do their best to minimise this to reduce the impact on residents.

Crews will be working between 10am and 2pm during the day. Night works will be undertaken between 8pm and 11pm, weekdays. Some weekend daytime work may be required.

The kerb and channel work is being undertaken in sections moving along the length of Summerhill Road over time.

There will be some restrictions on property access while crews are working outside individual properties.

Parking away from the work zone will help us expedite these works.

Road resurfacing works will follow and are expected to be completed before the end of the year. More details will be provided ahead of time.

Re-sheeting works in the area between Whitehall Street and Geelong Road are complete. 

This involved removing the existing surface and replacing it, with minor kerb and channel works, followed by new line marking.

Re-sheeting works will be undertaken in the area between Hampstead and Rosamond roads.

This involves removing the existing surface and replacing it, with minor kerb and channel works, followed by fresh line marking.

Works and are anticipated to take four weeks, weather depending.

How this may impact you

Crews will be working overnight only, between the hours of 7pm and 6am from Sunday night until Friday morning with road closures in place during this time, with detours in place and traffic management on site.

There will be some noise and dust, but we will not need to use additional lighting in the area. Please be aware reverse beepers will be used on some machinery – this is a critical safety measure for crews undertaking night works.

There will be no on-street parking permitted from 6pm to 6am. Residents will still be able to access their driveways during work hours, though there may be slight delays while this is managed around works activities. 

This web page will be updated with more information closer to the commencement of the works.

Will I receive a notification in advance of any works starting?

Yes. We will provide a detailed notification about the works and detours 10 business days prior to works beginning.

Road re-sheeting work is weather dependent, can be delayed due to wet weather and is highly dependent on the temperature. If works are impacted by weather, works will need to be rescheduled and residents will receive further notification from the contractor.

Not normally, no. This is because the road needs to be dry for us to do this. Because it is dependent on the weather it is normally scheduled at short notice, without much time for us to advise you.

The line marking process is very quick and relatively quiet. It is generally undertaken during the night. Temporary line marking will be in place until the permanent lines are reinstated.
