Trees in Onemana Drive that were destroyed
in the recent bad weather will start to be removed next
week.
The trees will be cut down and chipped on-site
before being taken away.
The broken timber platform around
the storm water ponds will also be removed from the site
next week, We were fortunate that the supporting steel
structure is intact so doesn't need any repair work.
Meanwhile the design drawings for the new timber platform
will also be issued next week for review and action, along
with the design drawings for geotechnical remediation
work.
All of the demolition and construction work is being
carried out by Council approved contractors and health and
safety management will be in place before work starts.
"We
are doing our best to clear up the slip and deal with the
remediation work as soon as possible," says Bruce Hinson our
Infrastructure Manager. "We ask for the community's patience
during this time and we'll continue to provide regular
updates on the work."
