Weekly information from us to you LEVEE WORKS ON TRACK

IMPROVEMENTS: The car park on the corner of Fitzmaurice and Crampton streets is sealed as part of the Main City Levee upgrade.

The car park on the corner of Fitzmaurice and Crampton streets will re-open on Monday 8 April with a freshly sealed surface and new accessible footpaths. A new crib wall was constructed during the closure, undertaken as part of the Main City Levee bank reinforcement and upgrade project. Works were completed ahead of schedule thanks to the dry weather and the efforts of work crews. In addition, two sets of stairs and a ramp were built to improve access to the Wiradjuri Walking Track, which runs along the top of the levee. Construction work continues in the vicinity of the car park until May and the Wiradjuri Walking Track remains closed between Johnston Street and Wiradjuri Bridge. Motorists are advised that two spaces within the car park will remain cordoned off to maintain a buffer between the construction works and parked cars. Parking is restricted in Cadell Place between Sturt Street and Kincaid Street for another two weeks as work continues to raise the concrete wall height. The action shifts to another section of the levee during winter, with construction scheduled between Johnston Street and Marshalls Creek Bridge (Hammond Avenue). All affected residents and businesses are invited to attend a community information session on 30 April from 6pm at the E3 Art Space, Civic Centre (access from Wollundry Lagoon). wagga.nsw.gov.au/levee

Weekly waste tip Be mindful to not overload your bin. If you struggle to shift it, the truck will struggle to lift it. Avoid placing large amounts of soil, rubble or sand in your red lid bin.

One 2019 Raiders member (and three friends) will be selected to sit alongside the Huawei Viking Horn for the match and blow the horn when the Raiders score a try during the NRL match. This also comes with some food and beverage offerings and seats next to the Huawei Viking Horn. The winner of this experience will be announced on Wednesday 24 April. Don’t be green with envy—tickets can be purchased online at raidersshop.com.au or in-person at the Visitor Information Centre on Tarcutta Street and the Oasis Aquatic Centre on Morgan Street.
