CBD street drainage program set to restartThe push is on to complete a 10-year project to upgrade the water and stormwater systems underneath Murwillumbahrsquos central business district

Council will start work in Murwillumbah Street ndash from the clock in Queen Street through to Brisbane Street ndash on Tuesday 1 September

It has committed to close the job in the first week of December to be out of the main street ahead of the peak Christmas trading period and the start of the worst of the wet season

ldquoWhile there is never a good time to dig up the main street in the CBD our only work window is in the next few months as we cannot risk working in deep trenches on live stormwater drains during the wet seasonrdquo Construction Engineer Nigel Dobson said

ldquoWhile we will do everything we can to limit the impact on the CBD it is critical that we complete this upgrade to make the town centre less susceptible to overland flooding and all its associated issuesrdquo

The current CBD drainage system is more than 80 years old It is inefficient prone to blockage and at times creates an odour due to stagnant water trapped at low points Therersquos also some infrastructure on private property that needs to be relocated to allow easy access for future maintenance

ldquoOur plan to get as far as Brisbane Street but if possible we will finish the entire job through to its end point 20 metres west of Queensland Road so we donrsquot have to come back next yearrdquo Mr Dobson said

Council will be working on the northern side of the street and will close that lane around the worksite The west bound lane will remain open but will be one way from Queen Street to Queensland Road

Footpath access will be maintained on both sides of the street

The work will be undertaken from 6am-6pm Monday to Friday with a possible extension to 7pm during daylight saving hours

CBD businesses customers and nearby residents can expect some noise from machinery and some dust

Council began the upgrade in 2006 replacing the pipes beneath Tumbulgum Road Wharf Street Commercial Road and Proudfoots Lane Then in 2009 it completed the upgrade from Commercial Road to Queen Street and up Queen Street to Church Lane

Murwillumbah CBD Drainage Project

Tweed Shire Council is upgrading the CBD water supply and drainage systems beneath

Murwillumbah Street from Queen Street to Brisbane Street

MURWILLUMBAH STREET WILL BE OPEN FOR BUSINESS AS USUAL

THE BIG PUSH IS ONFROM 1 SEPTEMBER TO EARLY DECEMBER

The job will be closed down in early December for pre-Christmas trading and to beat the worst of the wet season

Councilrsquos plan is to complete the upgrade to Brisbane Street but it will make every effort to deliver in excess of

the plan and complete the entire upgrade through to beyond Queensland Road so that its big machines can exit

Murwillumbah Street for many years to come If Council cannot complete the entire upgrade

it will resume work around September 2016Council thanks you for your support and apologises for the inconvenience caused

If you have any concerns about these works including around public safety please contact Council

on (02) 6670 2400 during business hours or 1800 818 326 after hours

Posters have been placed in business premises in the Murwillumbah CBD detailing the work to take place under Murwillumbah Street from Queen Street to Brisbane Street with work scheduled to start on 1 September

Chance to win in asbestos surveyTweed residents have the opportunity to win $150 to spend at their local hardware store by completing a survey on the Asbestos Awareness Campaign

Tweed Shire Council participated in the campaign over the past 12 months to raise awareness on illegally dumped asbestos with the program ending on 30 June this year

Councilrsquos Coordinator Waste Management Rod Dawson said the campaign had been a trial program to identify whether reducing disposal costs had a direct impact on decreasing cases of illegally dumped asbestos

ldquoOver the 12 month period 796 Tweed residents and removal companies took advantage of the reduced disposal rate disposing of approximately 1765 tonnes of asbestos wasterdquo Mr Dawson said

ldquoDuring the 12-month period there were no reports of illegally dumped asbestos In previous years Councils in the Northern Rivers region cleaned up 15 loads of illegally dumped asbestos at an estimated

cost of $30000rdquoMr Dawson said the funding received

from the NSW EPA Waste Less Recycle More initiative enabled Tweed Shire Council to reduce asbestos disposal fees by more than 50 per cent during the campaign from $18350 per tonne to $85 per tonne

ldquoIllegally dumped asbestos places a significant environmental and financial cost on Councilrdquo Mr Dawson said

ldquoSpecialised private contractors often need to be engaged to do the clean up because of the potentially dangerous health risks associated with asbestosrdquo

To have your say on the Asbestos Awareness Campaign and go in the draw to win complete the survey before 7 August at wwwillegaldumpingcomausurveyhtml

This program has been funded with the support of the NSW EPA Waste Less Recycle More initiative funded from the waste levy

The winning Tweed resident will be able to select a hardware store of their choice at which to use their voucher

Beach and Ozone streets and replace with a temporary bitumen seal will take two days

The street will be open only to local residents with traffic under the control of stopslow flagmen Through traffic will be diverted via Marine Parade

After the bitumen seal is applied Council will begin several months of testing to determine if the existing road construction is sufficiently robust to carry a single asphalt surface

Currently the asphalt pavement comprises several thin layers which are peeling off as a result of the bond between the layers breaking from the movement created by traffic and water ingress

The temporary bitumen seal could be in place for up to five months before a permanent surface is applied

Council will start work next week (Tuesday 11 August) to eliminate a road noise issue for residents of Kingscliff Street Kingscliff

The work to remove the existing layered asphalt pavement of the street between

The speed limit on most of Tyalgum Road from Bray Park to the village of Tyalgum will drop from 100kmh to 80kmh in the next few weeks following a review by Roads and Maritime Services (RMS)

Only one section ndash from Old Lismore Road to Kellys Road ndash will stay at 100kmh The speed limits in the village of Tyalgum will be reduced to 50kmh New speed limits will come into effect when signs are erected

Until then motorists will be forwarned about the reduced limits by electronic message boards erected at the Tyalgum and Bray Park ends of the road

RMS which is the authority responsible for speed limits undertook a review in light of the number of accidents on this stretch of road

There were 29 reported crashes on Tyalgum Road From 1 July 2009 and 30 June 2014 including one fatality and speed was identified as a contributing factor in 62 per cent of those crashes
