Town Centre Arterial Road Project Update
Check out the latest update on the Town Centre Arterial Road project.
We are pleased to share that our crews are making significant progress and the new road is beginning to take shape.
The Sydney/Melbourne Street intersection will reopen on Monday 15 July, footpaths have been upgraded, light poles have been installed and the wall in front of St Joesph’s school are complete.
Please see the following update below.
Frankton Road |
We’ve successfully installed approximately 70% of power ducting in the ground, and completed the water supply main. Kerb and footpath construction work took place at the intersection of Frankton Road and lower Suburb Street. We will shortly begin linking the wastewater crossings on Frankton Road, once all utilities are installed. We will provide further detail nearer the time. We will begin constructing the kerb and footpath from the lower Suburb Street intersection, along Frankton Road towards town, in the upcoming weeks. |
Suburb Street |
You’ll notice the footpath has been upgraded on Frankton Road when walking down Veint Crescent. We have begun preparations for the footpath and driveway from Alexis Motel and Apartments on Suburb Street towards Frankton Road. We’ve started to install a flush concrete crossing at the intersection, providing a safe pedestrian crossing point. This will take three weeks to complete at the intersection of Frankton Road and lower Suburb Street. Maintenance work is required on a short section of kerb and channel on the corner of lower Suburb Street and Park Street. This is expected to take approximately one week. Upper Suburb Street will close for two days on Tuesday 30 and Wednesday 31 July to install a light pole foundation on the corner of Frankton Road. |
Dublin Street |
The new streetlight at the intersection of Frankton Road and Dublin Street is now live. A further street light pole has been installed and we’ll be back on Dublin Street within the next few weeks to connect the power for the second light pole, so that can also be livened. Dublin Street will revert to a left hand turn in and out only on Monday 15 July. We will return in spring to install a flush concrete crossing, similar to Suburb Street which will provide a safer crossing point for pedestrians. |
Melbourne Street |
Our crews have completed raising manholes, installed street furniture, and turned on the lights along Melbourne Street. We have completed the channel drainage work in front of St Joseph’s School. Fencing has been completed, hydro seed placed, and the final wall panel installed in front of St Joseph's school. We have completed the last structural works on the retaining wall at the corner of Beetham and Melbourne Street and progressing with the remaining stormwater work in this location. Capping beam construction near the Heartland hotel is underway, this work is to build the foundation for a concrete slab. The northern side of Melbourne Street will be quieter than usual for the next couple of months until we return in spring to complete the final asphalt surface, with approximately 60mm to apply to the road. |
Sydney Street |
Our crews needed a bit more time to complete the ground preparation at the Sydney/Melbourne Street intersection. We have accomplished what we can for now, and it will open on Monday 15 July. We will return in spring to finish the remaining road construction. Next, we will install light pole foundations and prepare garden beds on the remaining three corners of the intersection. Pedestrian access will be adjusted slightly to facilitate the work. |
Beetham Street |
A small section of the wall on Beetham Street, which connects to the wall on Melbourne Street in front of St Joseph school is now complete. Stormwater laterals and manhole installation are underway between Beetham Street and Melbourne Street. The structures team has begun pouring concrete and installing wall panels to support the pedestrian ramp access, which will connect to the new arterial road. Excavation and preparations for the installation of precast panels for Lower Beetham wall will commence next week by the Glebe Apartments. |
Henry Street/Malaghan Street/Ballarat Street |
We have installed power ducting along the main alignment of the arterial road. We are now moving forward with installing channel drains, which help drain stormwater, and irrigation lines to the tree pits. The low height schist walls are ongoing and compliment the cultural artwork beautifully. The installation of ground anchors for the retaining wall on Malaghan Street and Henry Street corner is ongoing, but progress has been delayed due to challenging ground conditions. We successfully cleared vegetation, and excavation has begun to prepare for a new retaining wall on the downslope part of Henry Street. We only have a few panels left to install on the upslope part of the Henry Street wall. Next week we will begin constructing a gabion wall below the new road. Soon after, we will start ground excavation to form the new turn around bay on Ballarat Street above the new road. We will start excavating the existing surface and establish new levels to prepare for the remaining section of new arterial road. |
Below are some photos illustrating progress.

As always, our top priority is the safety of all residents and commuters, so we kindly ask for you to please follow the traffic and pedestrian signs and take extra care at all times. We will keep you informed of any updates or adjustments to this schedule.
