5.      Access during construction

The Gympie Terrace project will cause disruption to traffic and pedestrian movements on and
around Gympie Terrace during the life of the project. Specific requirements have been placed on
the contractor to communicate with, and ensure access to businesses and residences is
maintained throughout the project.

Through traffic will be maintained for the duration of work, however motorists will be encouraged
to use alternate routes as delays are expected. Night works are proposed for critical elements of
the road crossing work to further minimise traffic flow and access restrictions. This night work will
be structured such that impacts to adjacent land uses is minimised.

The contractor must also consider the impact of work to community events and take appropriate
action to mitigate any impact. To assist this, the contractor will be provided with a copy of the event
calendar.

6.      Program

The preferred contractor has nominated a construction period of 4 months commencing in
February 2020 subject to favourable conditions during construction. It is proposed that night work
be undertaken for critical road crossing work to provide an accelerated works program.
