The Banana Shire Council advise the following work areas to be established in May 2022, as construction of the Don Street South Wowan School Safety Project. (Refer to map):

• Works include Pavement widening and seal, concrete footpath, bus shelter and signage and traffic controllers / traffic lights in place to manage traffic flow along the Don Street South from 3 May 2022 to an estimated 31 July 2022.

What to expect:

Traffic control: traffic control will be in place.  Motorists and pedestrians are reminded to exercise caution and observe all warning signs, speed restrictions and traffic controller / lights directions during the works.

Access: temporary measures will be in place to ensure access to private properties is maintained at all times.

Noise, dust, and vibration: audible noise, possible dust and localised vibrations from construction activities and heavy machinery. Reversing alarms and flashing lights are a safety requirement and will be used at all times during works.

Increased construction traffic: an increase in construction / heavy vehicles near work areas will occur during construction.

Working hours: 7am – 6pm

The project team will continue to keep nearby residents, businesses, motorists, and key stakeholders updated throughout construction.
