Procedure
Delays to traffic
• To ensure minimum disruption and inconvenience to road users close only the
minimum length and width of a road that is absolutely necessary to undertake
the works in a safe manner at each stage of construction;
• Minimise the use of local roads (through residential streets and town centres)
to gain access to construction sites;
• Busy roads and central business districts will be avoided where possible to
minimise idling and queuing in local residential streets and town centres;
• Adhere to haulage routes and road networks listed in Section 5.4.
• In locations where a transmission line is to cross roadways, make all possible
attempts to safely install the line without closing the roadway.
• Audible work at the nearest sensitive receiver is to be undertaken during the
approved construction times and programmed where necessary to ensure
minimum disruption to traffic especially during the following times:
• peak times;
• Saturdays;
• school holidays; and
• special events.
• Road closures will only be short term up to a maximum of 15 minutes to allow
delivery of large plant items. In the case of Skinners Shoot Road and Yagars
Lane, road works will ensure a single lane is open for traffic movement under
traffic control. Access for emergency vehicles during short term road closure
will be established between Yagars Lane and Bangalow Road via an existing
private property access track in consultation with the relevant landowner.
