Specialist contractors will be undertaking site survey and investigation works at various locations in and around the Euroa Station Precinct and along adjoining roads including Scott Street, Anderson Street, Hinton Street, Brock Street, Railway Street, Elliot Street, Frost Street and Birkett Street.
Work being done
Activities will include:
- Surveying road and pavement levels at multiple locations using handheld equipment

- Traffic management may be required in some locations where works are occurring close to roads
