Road Upgrading

Cargo Road

Works continued by contractors to lay drainage infrastructure for the road upgrade. Earthworks have progressed to the point where a power pole relocation is necessary to continue.

Forest Road - Bloomfield

Hot mix asphalt has now been laid on a 400m section of road between the main hospital entrance and the existing traffic signals to the south. Works are continuing in this area on the completion of the traffic signals at the new four way intersection with the new private hospital, concrete shared path and street lighting.

Works will now begin to focus on the northern end of the project around Sir Jack Brabham Park. It is anticipated that there will be some disruption to parking in this area, however every effort will be made to make the existing parking area to the east of Forest Road available outside of the normal Monday to Friday working week when construction progress permits. It is noted that overflow parking on the western side of Forest Road in this area will no longer be permitted due to a new open drainage system.

Forest Road – Spring Hill

Guardrail works have been completed at the intersection of Beasley Road and Forest Road following the recent road widening and upgrading.

Hot Mix Asphalt

A new non slip asphalt surface has been laid over the East Fork Bridge on Forest Road and Peisley Street. Curve warning signage has also been upgraded.

CENTRAL TABLELANDS REGIONAL WATER SECURITY PROJECT – Orange To Carcoar Pipeline

The Current date for practical completion of the Orange to Carcoar Pipeline including all commissioning is 30 November 2018 after valves are delivered from the United States. In the interim minor defects are being repaired and it is proposed to have the East Orange Booster Zone (EOBZ) commissioned. The EOBZ will improve water pressure in the eastern areas of the city.

Pure Technologies propose to utilise their “smart ball” technology to acoustically identify leaks along the vandalised effluent line between Orange and Spring Hill on 29 June 2018. As previously mentioned, is hoped that this technology will identify the leaks to an accuracy of about two metres.

SUMA PARK DAM

The rectification of minor defects is still underway. As previously mentioned, the sealing rubbers have been rectified which completes all work on the upstream side of the fuse gates. Some rectification work on the downstream areas of the fuse gates will need to occur in spring as some product performance is affected by low temperatures.

WILLIAM MAKER DRIVE DETENTION BASIN

Other than minor tidy up work the William Maker Drive detention basin is complete.

AIRPORT PASSENGER NUMBERS

Passenger numbers for May 2018 were 7,073 compared with 6,288 in the same month in 2017.

Airport Energy Usage

Energy used at the airport during May 2018 was 25,483.56 kWh at a cost to Council of $6,643.49.

· Installation of NRMA supercharger.
