Major culvert pipe renewal works will occur on Glen Alvie Road, Lance Creek from mid to late September 2023. The location on Glen Alvie Road is between Atkinson Road and Hickey Road. Bass Coast Shire Council has appointed local contractor Wiltrack Earthmoving Pty Ltd as part of council's annual supply contracts. Works are anticipated to be completed within 3-4 weeks, subject to favourable weather, contractor, supplier, and material availability.

Stay updated on the Glen Alvie Road culvert renewal project through the council's website for the benefit of the community, residents, businesses, and stakeholders

Benefits to the community

This project is funded by council in the order of $94,000 as part of council's 2023/24 Capital Works Program. The aim of this project is to renew the culvert structure and provide protection from erosion of the road at this location. Here's what the community can expect with the ongoing project:

• Removal and replacement of the culvert pipe, including installation of new headwalls, rock beaching and minor vegetation removal
• For safety reasons, this will be a construction zone. Appropriate and approved traffic measures will be in place throughout the duration of the works. All appropriate works approvals and permits have been approved from the relevant agencies
• Use of heavy plant and machinery including noisy, and vibration works such as earthworks, saw cutting and use of trucks/crane for delivering concrete/culverts to site

We appreciate that these works may present an inconvenience to nearby properties, and we have asked for their patience during these times. Our contractor will make every effort to minimise disruptions during construction. Traffic will be down to one lane for the duration of the works. It is advised to plan your trip accordingly. As always, emergency vehicle access to properties will be maintained at all times.
