Preparation works are set to resume on Cox Street from Tuesday 10 March 2026, with crews continuing footing installation for new solar street lighting.
Works will take place along the section of Cox Street between Gray and Lonsdale Streets, after completing footings on the Gray Street to Ballarat Road section earlier this year.
Once preparation works are completed, poured concrete will require a minimum curing period of 14 days before further works can continue. Please be aware that adverse weather conditions can affect the duration of the curing process.
Following this, installation of lighting poles will commence. Further updates on impacts caused by the installation will be provided in the coming weeks.
During periods of activity, short-term traffic management will be in place and signposted while contractors carry out these works. This will include brief detours and reduced speed limits. Vehicles are advised to observe changes and to take care driving in the area.
Council thanks the community for their patience and looks forward to seeing progress continue in the coming weeks.
