UPDATE: Balaclava / Verney / New Dookie Roads / Hawdon Street Intersection Upgrade

Water main replacement works

Throughout the past month Council has been working with our contractor to undertake necessary water main relocation works as part of the Verney Road / Balaclava Road / Hawdon Street / New Dookie Road intersection upgrade.

With the installation of the new water main completed, Council is now working with Goulburn Valley Water to finalise dates for when the old water main will be decommissioned and the water switched over to the new water main.

At this stage, it is anticipated that there will be six shutdowns spread over four weeks commencing in the week of 15 April 2019. Each shutdown is expected to be between two to six hours. Council will be in contact with affected property owners and residents when shut down arrangements are confirmed by Goulburn Valley Water.

Powercor pole works

Last weekend Powercor undertook work to relocate a power pole on the corner of Balaclava and Verney Roads and also a stay brace on the pole located on the north-east corner of the roundabout. These works were undertaken in preparation for the civil works to upgrade the intersection.

Future works will include removal of the light pole in the centre of the roundabout together with some additional power pole works as the civil works progress.
