Soil Mound Removal

Start Date: 12 January 2026
Duration: Approximately 4-6 months

Next week, our contractor will begin removing the large soil mound currently on-site. We know this has been a significant concern for residents, both visually and due to dust. Its removal is an important step toward improving the environment and responding to your feedback.

What you can expect:

• Removal will start from the rear of the site (approx. 180m from nearest homes) and progress in stages.

• Water carts will be used consistently at the soil loading area.

• Trucks travelling along May Street will have loads securely covered.

• Dust suppression measures will continue throughout the process.

• The southern footpath on Andrew Street will remain closed outside working hours until works are complete.
