Night work schedule consultation

We’ll soon begin renewing a section of the water main along Old Barrenjoey Road, Avalon Beach. We’re also working closely with Northern Beaches Council to plan this work.

Before we start our work, we need to confirm where our pipes and other services are below the ground. This will help us plan for the work and save time when we begin construction.

Our investigations will start in late November 2022. Based on our proposed night work schedule, we expect the investigations to take about four weeks to complete, weather and ground conditions permitting.

These investigations need to be done at night to reduce the impact on daytime traffic flows and local businesses. Our night work hours are 8 pm to 5 am.

We understand our work can be disruptive, especially when we need to work at night. We’re asking the local community for feedback on our night work schedule, to minimise the impact our work has on you. If you’ve already provided your feedback on our night work schedule via the business survey in October, you don’t need to complete this survey again.

• Proposed night work schedule: Our proposal is to work four consecutive nights a week from Monday night to Friday morning, followed by three nights off (Friday, Saturday and Sunday).
• Alternative option A: Three consecutive nights a week from Monday night to Thursday morning, followed by four nights off (Thursday to Sunday). Using this schedule, our night work would take longer to complete overall compared to the proposed night work schedule.
• Alternative option B: Five consecutive nights a week from Monday night to Saturday morning, followed by two nights off (Saturday and Sunday). Using this schedule, our night work would take less time to complete overall compared to the proposed night work schedule.

If you prefer one of the alternative options, please scan the QR code and give us your feedback by Friday 18 November 2022. We will carefully consider all feedback before we finalise our night work schedule. We will write to you again to confirm the night work schedule before we start our investigations in late November.
