Treeline Lurline streetscape works commence

9 August 2024

New trees, gardens, footpaths, paving and the first leg of a cycleway are some of the exciting streetscape upgrades about to be rolled out in the next phase of the Treeline Lurline project.

Construction of the streetscape improvements will start on Monday, 12 August 2024 and follow the recent completion of the electrical undergrounding works along the first block of Lurline Street, between Waratah Road and Merriwa Street.

The upcoming streetscape works include:

• New street trees and gardens
• Quality footpath paving
• The first leg of a cycleway
• A new pedestrian crossing
• New kerb and guttering
• Stormwater harvesting
• Street furniture
• Heritage interpretive signs

Construction will begin on the east side of the road, from Waratah Street down to Merriwa Street. During this part of the work, Lurline Street will be open to traffic in both directions but there will be no parking lane on the west side of Lurline Street, with this space used as a traffic lane.

Works on the east side of the street will progress until early November 2024 and then switch to the western side of the street. Under this arrangement, there will only be space for one lane of traffic heading in the southbound direction. Northbound traffic will need to follow a detour route that will be clearly signposted.

The streetscape works are expected to be completed in mid-February 2025 and during this time a construction compound will be set up in Dr Alex Allen Park (corner of Lurline and Waratah Streets).

Construction works will generally take place 7am – 5pm Monday to Friday.

While some noise and vibration will occur from the construction, active efforts will be made to reduce and mitigate the disruption.
