BASS Coast Shire has announced the commencement of road renewal works along Settlement Road between Justice Road and Red Rocks Road in Cowes.
The project has been awarded to Stabilised Pavement Australia (SPA) Pty Ltd through the annual supply contract and commenced in late April 2023.
The project is estimated to take approximately 5-6 weeks, subject to favourable weather, contractor availability, and material supply.
The total project cost for the Settlement Road renewal works is expected to be around $840,000, which will be partially funded by the Roads to Recovery program ($720,000) and the Council's adopted 2022/23 Capital Works Program ($120,000).
The road renewal works is to ensure that the urban road network remains safe and sustainable for the community in the future while maintaining appropriate levels of service.
During the course of the project, residents and businesses can expect underground stormwater drainage renewal works, kerb and channel rectification at road intersections, and approximately 800 metres of road pavement works by adding crush rock overlay and foam bitumen stabilisation to the existing road pavement.
The project will also include asphalt road sealing works, line marking, and other associated road works.
The community, residents, businesses, and other stakeholders will be kept informed of the project's progress via Council's website, QR code project sign, and letterbox drops or mail-outs where appropriate.
