Charles Street, Wee Waa, to close for drainage works

The NSW Department of Education advised Narrabri Shire Council that drainage works along Charles Street, Wee Waa, will begin on Tuesday, May 16.

These works include excavating pits along Charles Street to access storm water drainpipes.

The existing storm water drain pipes will be removed and replaced during the works to increase the storm water infrastructure capacity from the new Wee Waa High
School.

To complete these works, a road closure of Charles Street between Mitchell Street and Boundary Street will be required, and access to the road will be restricted to residents. Works are expected to take approximately 26 weeks to complete.

A traffic management plan will be in place during the works to support the safe access of residents, this includes:

• A ‘no through traffic- resident only’ sign and barrier placed at each side of Charles Street.

• Road closed signs at either side of Charles Street and 50 metres from the intersections at Mitchell Street and Boundary Street.

• During work hours, residents will be escorted through the work site by traffic control personnel

• After work hours, the barrier will be moved to provide access for residents.

Approved construction hours are between 7am and 6pm, Monday to Friday, and from 8am to 1pm on Saturdays.
