Works update

Each fortnight, Council prepares a report detailing the work that our infrastructure crews have carried out in the fortnight prior and plan to deliver in the coming fortnight.

LAST UPDATE: 25 September 2026

Scheduled work is merely an indication of intentions, not a guarantee of work being carried out as factors including weather and unexpected needs can impact priorities.
