Contractors are confirmed to commence construction in the coming weeks on the Foreshore Remediation stage of the Lake Albert Pipeline and Precinct Renewal project.

Construction will begin on the western side of the lake beside Ray Beddoe Park, with preliminary works to establish site fencing set to commence on Monday 26 May. Construction will then begin in earnest the following week on Monday 2 June, weather permitting.

Contractors will be onsite from Monday to Friday during this stage of construction, undertaking works each day between 7:00am til 5:00pm. Saturday works will only occur if or when required, and per the appropriate levels of approval.

Council confirms that access to Ray Beddoe Park will be ongoing for the entirety of these initial works.

Footpaths, meanwhile, will remain open for the majority of these works, with pedestrians and cyclists advised to follow signage in place regarding any localised detours in place during construction.

Residents in the affected project area have been advised that there will be no disruption to property or road access along Lakeside Drive during these works. However, lake users may need to plan to access the water from alternative points during construction.
