Progress update

Ongoing works

• Works are expected to recommence from 4 March and is projected to take approximately 6 weeks to complete.
• The developer is engaging with the relevant authorities to arrange the relocation of underground infrastructure to allow the works to continue.

Disruptions

• The barriers located at Princes Highway, Brunt Road and Whiteside Road have been temporarily removed by the developer but are expected to be reinstalled for further works in the coming weeks.
