The disruption caused to local businesses as a result of the Riverway Drive roadworks will continue to impact on businesses at the Rasmussen shopping precinct, with the expected completion date for the roadworks around Dec 2018 we need to help our local small business through this challenging time.
Local residents are feeling the frustrations of traffic congestion in Free Computer peak hour, especially with traffic turning into the shopping precinct.
