Kemp Street bridge gas relocation works

Work being done

These works have been assessed through a Review of Environmental Factors under the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979.

We want to reassure residents that starting these early works now does not mean approval has been given for major construction to begin on the Albury to Illabo section.

Completing works before the Albury to Illabo project obtains approval from the Department of Planning and Environment means we can start major construction more efficiently once approvals are issued.

Overview of early works

• relocate existing and install new gas pipelines between Railway Parade and Edgar Street

When are early works occurring?

Early works are expected to commence late October 2023 and be completed by March 2024.
