Crews have commenced Stage 2, Phase 2 of the Molong Town Centre Activation Project.
Last week there was an emergency replacement of a burst water main during excavation of the road pavement. This has since been repaired and the project is back on track with crews preparing the pit for concreting, with the first pour expected to commence tomorrow.
Installation of the drainage layer and Stratavault is scheduled to commence this Friday, 19 April 2024.
Council encourages everyone to continue to support the local business in Molong while the Activation Project is being undertaken.
This project was funded by the NSW Government and Federal Government.
FAQS
WHAT IS THE TIMELINE FOR STAGE 2, PHASE 2?
Stage 2, Phase 2 of the Molong Town Centre Activation Project encompasses the top end of Bank Street, (as shown in the diagram on the first page). The expected timeline for this section of works is approximately 9 weeks with works commencing Thursday, 4 April 2024 through until the week commencing Monday, 3 June 2024. Subject to weather conditions, it is hoped that all works will be completed prior to the June long-weekend.
WILL THERE STILL BE PARKING AVAILABLE ON THE STREET?
Parking will be available on Bank Street throughout the project, with parallel parking available across from the work area. However, there will be no parking in the designated work area. Access will be maintained for residents during the construction timeframe.
Council has undertaken testing to ensure that the design will meet the requirements of users (including motorists and pedestrians) and ensuring that parking is accessible for a range of vehicle types. This has been further proved through the delivery of the project in the top block of Bank St (from Gidley St to Edward St).
Once the project is complete the parking spaces will be wider than the minimum requirements, and line markings will be added to the road to assist people to adjust to the 45-degree angled parking. The removal of the existing trees will also result in additional carparks, not less.
WILL DELIVERIES STILL BE POSSIBLE ON BANK STREET DURING THE WORKS?
Yes, deliveries will be possible for businesses during all stages of the construction works. Delivery vehicles will be able to park either in the 45-degree angled parking, or between tree plantings in the street centre, once they are installed.
