As part of preparation for major works, the Level Crossing Removal Project need to carry out further site investigations in Creswick Lane and continue with vegetation removal works in Churchill Street.
Works taking place
On Tuesday 8 February, there will be one day of work between 7am and 6pm on Creswick Lane to carry out non-destructive digging as part of site investigation work.
On Thursday 10 and Friday 11 February, there will be removal of small plants, shrubs and trees adjacent to the rail corridor fence line between Salisbury Avenue and Creswick Lane so we can install new rail power, signalling and communications cables. Stump grinding activities will also be carried out on Churchill Street during this period.
For details about trees that are to be retained or removed, please refer to the previous notices and further information at levelcrossings.vic.gov.au
At the conclusion of the project, the Level Crossing Removal Project will install extensive new landscaping with 52,000 new trees, shrubs and plants across the project. For every tree removed, two new trees in the local area will be planted.
