Since the previous information notice circulated in December 2023, funding has been allocated to construct key portions of the Kaiapoi to Woodend Path. The first portion to be completed is a path from Chinnerys Road through to the shared path within Ravenswood. This will vary from 2.0m to 2.5m in width and will utilise both existing sealed shoulder and newly constructed path.

The work will include

• Kerb and channel construction outside St Barnabas Church and Chinnerys Road intersection.
• Associated drainage works.
• Path construction including concrete separators between the existing road and new path for safety awareness.

Timing of work

The contract is due to be placed out for tender in August 2025, upon awardance an additional information notice will be circulated with proposed construction timeframes and contractor details.

How the work may affect you

The works to be completed are in the road reserve. During work hours, we are expecting that access may be

limited to properties on the northern side of State Highway 1. However, residents living inside the work area will continue to have access outside of business hours and will be permitted to enter the work area if necessary.

Traffic impacts

The works will only impact the carriageway to a minimal extent, some delays may occur during these times. If any closures are required, additional communications will be communicated in advance.

General impacts

Kerbside collections

Your kerbside collections will remain unchanged. Please ensure your bag or bins are in their usual spot on collection day.

Essential services

Notice of changes in traffic management

We will do our best to give you enough notice to adjust to any changes in traffic management, please keep an eye out for more updates.

All work will be undertaken Monday to Friday, between 7am and 5pm.

Weather

In the event of bad weather or for unforeseen circumstances, the work may be delayed.

Safety

Please warn your children of the dangers posed by road works. Ensure that they stay well back from the work site and they follow the directions of the workers.

Noise and dirt

Road work is a noisy, dirty business — but please bear with us. We will be doing all we can to minimise the impact on your home/business. Your cooperation and patience will help us get the job done as quickly as possible. All work will be carried out between the stated hours and over week days only to help minimise the impact on the community.

Easy does it

Bitumen, concrete and other road repair materials require a bit of care after they are applied. Please treat all new surfaces with extra care following the completion of this project.

Thank you for your patience while we complete this work. If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact us.
