Major Roadworks and Closures

Several critical infrastructure projects remain active, impacting travel across the region this Sunday:

• Centenary Heights: Ballin Drive remains closed to through traffic between Mackenzie Street and Stenner Street. This closure is necessary for essential water main works and is expected to continue through late March. Local resident access is maintained via detours.

Facility and Utility Updates

Council has also announced upcoming service changes and ongoing infrastructure investments:

• Clifton Library: Residents are advised that the Clifton Library will be temporarily closed for essential building maintenance starting Tuesday, 3 March. Sunday visitors to the region should plan accordingly for any library-related needs before the closure.
• Highfields Reservoirs Project: Preparatory work is now underway on the Highfields Reservoirs Project. This major water security initiative will involve increased heavy vehicle movement in the Highfields area, though no immediate service interruptions are expected this weekend.
• Waste Collection: Standard kerbside waste and recycling collections will proceed as scheduled. Residents are reminded to have bins placed at the kerbside by 5:30 am to ensure collection.
