Construction Works Notification

25 July 2022

Notification of Road Construction Works – Miller Street and Montpellier Street, Healesville as part of Yarra Ranges Council Roads for the Community Initiative

The works are scheduled to commence late August 2022 and should take approximately 10-12 weeks to complete subject to favourable conditions.

Please be aware that while we will make every attempt to keep disruptions to a minimum, due to the nature and extent of the works there are likely to be some disruptions to access and traffic flow. This will occur during normal construction working hours from 7.30 am to 4.30 pm on weekdays.

Emergency access for local residents will remain a priority; however, there will be occasions throughout the day when traffic flow will be temporarily halted for up to 15 minutes.

Where the proposed works affect a driveway, the affected area will be reinstated as close as possible to its current standard. The contractor undertaking the works will inform residents of any disruptions to driveway access during the works.

During this period could you please ensure no vehicles are left parked on the roadside when your household (or organisation) is left unattended.

As there will be workers and equipment operating in close proximity to traffic, for the safety of all we request that you:

  • Keep your speed under 40km/h;
  • Be prepared to stop as you approach the works; and
  • Follow directions given by works personnel and / or traffic controllers.
  • People do not ride bicycles or walk on new concrete.
  • Motor vehicles do not drive over any new concrete for 3-5 days after pouring.
  • Heavy vehicles do not drive over any new concrete for 14 days after pouring.

As a matter of added safety, children are advised to keep away from the works throughout the duration.

During construction works, we request that:

Please inform any others within your household (or organisation) likely to be affected by these works of the above details.

Council has appointed Dallum Constructions as the contractor for these works, with Albert D’Alessandro (0412 011 334) being the contractor’s site supervisor.

Should you have any queries regarding these works, you can contact Joseph Sanchez, Project Engineer on 1300 368 333.
