This exciting new development will deliver the people of Burwood a range of benefits including:
CONSTRUCTION ACTIVITIES & TIMING
Construction activities will be undertaken in three stages following approval of the Development Application.
Stage 1
Council aims to commence pre-construction activities (such as relocating services – electricity, telecommunications etc) at the end of 2009
Stage 2
Council aims to commence the construction of the new basement car park at the end of 2009/early 2010. It is anticipated this will take 9 months to complete.
Stage 3
Council aims to commence the construction of the new library building in mid 2010. It is anticipated this will take 12 to 18 months to complete.
TRAFFIC & ROAD ACCESS UPDATE
Council is preparing a full traffic management plan outlining traffic control measures, temporary road closures and any alternative routes to ensure there is minimal disruption to the community.
No permanent road closures will be required as part of this project, however, there will be a temporary closure of a portion of Conder Street (in front of Burwood School) to enable the construction of the underground car park and multifunction hall.
Any changes to traffic flows and street access will be communicated to the Burwood community.
Traffic updates will also appear regularly on the Burwood Council website.
