REDEVELOPMENT OF WINGEWARRA STREET INFRASTRUCTURE Dubbo Regional Council is significantly redeveloping Wingewarra Street between Darling and Gipps streets to renew aging infrastructure and improve public amenities.
“In coming days 16 Kurrajong and five Box Brush trees on the southern side of Wingewarra Street will be removed and replaced once the development is complete,” Mr Devitt said.
The work is essential to help minimise localised flooding and improve safety for pedestrians as well as improve the overall amenity of Wingewarra Street for residents.
“The kerb and gutter reconstruction is expected to start in November and will involve the removal of existing sandstone kerb and gutter, construction of new stormwater infrastructure, reconstruction of footpaths, reconstruction of the road shoulder and improved parking facilities and the planting of 10 new trees,” he said.
“Council will undertake water main and kerb and guttering upgrades which will address the issues of stormwater drainage, on-street parking, pedestrian access and walkways and the aging infrastructure in the street,” Council’s Director Infrastructure and Operations, Chris Devitt, said.
“Where appropriate, Council will undertake weekend and night works in order to reduce the impact of the construction work”.
