Up Date - Yarra Ranges Council / Federal Government Roads for the Community Program

I am posting to advise of upcoming road construction works along Junction Street, Yarra Junction. These works are to construct the unsealed length of Junction Street that travels alongside the Upper Yarra Secondary College. This project is included in the list of roads to be constructed around schools as part of the Federal Governments Roads for the Community Initiative as announced by Yarra Ranges Council & Hon Tony Smith MP Federal Member for Casey.
The works will include constructing a concrete channel to delineate the current off street parking area, formalisation of a large vehicle turn around area and the sealing of the pavement. I have attached the layout plans that show the extent of the works.
Discussions regarding the timing of the works have been undertaken between the Upper Yarra Secondary College and the contractor appointed to deliver the project. It has been agreed that some of the work on the road will commence in mid-March (approximately 16th March) with the major works to be completed in the school holiday period in late March / early April 2020. This approach will ensure there are minimal impacts to the school and they are happy with this methodology. All going well the sealing of the road will be completed by the Easter weekend (weather permitting).
On a side Council Officers have been in contact with contractors regarding availability to commence works on the Cavanagh Road and Moore Crescent Millgrove road constructions. From discussions there should be a contractor available to begin these works from mid to late April this year.
