Road Rehabilitation Works - Pitt St, Kensington

In accordance with the 2019/20 Capital Works Program, the City of South Perth will be undertaking road rehabilitation works at the following location:

• Pitt Street between Douglas Avenue and Collins Street, Kensington   
  Commencing 18 May 2020

The works will take approximately 4 weeks to complete, weather permitting. Works will be confined to the hours of 7am to 5pm Monday to Friday.

The roads will be closed at certain times to through-traffic. Local residents will be permitted to access their properties, although some delays may occur. On-street parking will also be restricted to facilitate the works. 

Vehicle movements in and out of some properties may be impacted by the works. The City’s contractor Asphaltech will provide nearby and/or affected residents with a letter 48 hours prior to the commencement of resurfacing works (laying new asphalt). Driving on freshly laid asphalt can negatively affect the quality of the asphalt and increase the risk of bitumen sticking to car tyres.

The works may also involve the removal and replacement of kerbing. If residents have reticulation on the kerb line it will be temporarily cut, capped and relocated away from the kerb. A notice will be placed in letterboxes upon reinstatement of reticulation. The City requests that residents test their systems within a two week period of receipt of the notice and if issues present they are to notify the City as soon as possible.
