Road closures for Anzac Day services

Road closures for Anzac Day services - 22 April 2016

­­­

A number of road closures will take place from Sunday, 24 April evening until noon on Anzac Day.

These road closures will be undertaken by an external traffic control contractor, which will result in an approximate saving of $5000.

“Staff were asked to consider working on Anzac Day,” General Manger Alan Eldridge said.

“Because engaging a traffic contractor would cost approximately $5000 less, traffic control staff were asked to consider being remunerated by way of Time Off In Lieu for the hours worked on Anzac Day.

“Little support was shown for this approach and as a result, an external traffic control service was engaged for the event.

“Some Council staff will be on hand to assist and liaise with the external traffic service to ensure this year’s events run smoothly.”

The details for this year’s road closures are below.
