Project Overview
As the City's population grows, we need to continually monitor, evaluate and upgrade our roads and infrastructure to ensure we continue to meet this growing demand.
We have identified Townsend Road and Swinstone Street as areas that require important upgrades to increase road safety for both motorists and pedestrians.
The City appreciates that the proposed works may cause some disruption however these upgrades are necessary to improve road safety in our community.
