Resealing of Phillip Street and Car Parks

Resealing of the full length of Phillip Street and construction of new (redesigned) car parking in front of the Silver Chain and Day Care Centre/Playgroup is anticipated to commence on Tuesday, 28 September 2021. The timing is to coincide with school holidays so as to minimise any impact the works might have on the Primary School and Day Care Centre, although we do recognise that this will affect some services and residents.

 

Phillip Street, from Shenton Street to the Bowling Club, is expected to be closed in the first week of works (28 September – 1 October) which will mean road access to the Rec Centre will need to occur off Midlands Road.

 

The second week may require a partial closure of Phillip Street, between Shenton Street to Victoria Street, with traffic being restricted to a single lane at times as sealing works take place. These works are currently scheduled for Wednesday 6 October. The road will be sealed in sections, meaning that detours will change throughout the day.

 

Carparks at the Rec Centre, Museum/Shire and near the public toilets are also being resealed and there may be short-term closures of these areas between 5-7 October 2021. Updates will be provided closer to the date of works.

 

Access to the Silver Chain, Autumn Centre and Day Care building will be possible and parking can still occur on the north side of Phillip Street, however this will be limited during road sealing and carpark construction from 6-8 October. Please ensure you follow all safety signage and travel through the area with caution.

 

See our Facebook page and the website for any updates, as scheduling is dependent on contractor availability.

 

This project is fully funded through the Federal Government’s Local Roads and Community Infrastructure Program.
