What to be aware of
These works are expected to be low impact, however you may notice an increase in noise and dust. There will be machinery, heavy vehicles and workers within the rail corridor, so please be mindful and observe all safety signage in place.
Health and safety
Shepparton Line Upgrade works are progressing under the current Third Step restrictions in Regional Victoria.
You may notice an increase of workers on projects as restrictions on construction sites start to ease. Large-scale public infrastructure projects are critical and strict COVIDsafe Plans are in place on all project sites across Victoria. Workers on all sites are required to wear face masks unless they meet any of the criteria for exception – such as a medical condition for Occupational Health and Safety guidelines.
Physical distancing measures are in place as well as increased hygiene practices. For more information and advice about the coronavirus (COVID-19), please visit coronavirus.vic.gov.au.
