FAQS
WHAT IS THE TIMELINE FOR STAGE 2, PHASE 2?
Stage 2, Phase 2 of the Molong Town Centre Activation Project encompasses the top end of Bank Street, (as shown in the diagram on the first page). The expected timeline for this section of works is approximately 9 weeks with works commencing Thursday, 4 April 2024 through until the week commencing Monday, 3 June 2024. Subject to weather conditions, it is hoped that all works will be completed prior to the June long-weekend.
WILL THERE STILL BE PARKING AVAILABLE ON THE STREET?
Parking will be available on Bank Street throughout the project, with parallel parking available across from the work area. However, there will be no parking in the designated work area. Access will be maintained for residents during the construction timeframe.
Council has undertaken testing to ensure that the design will meet the requirements of users (including motorists and pedestrians) and ensuring that parking is accessible for a range of vehicle types. This has been further proved through the delivery of the project in the top block of Bank St (from Gidley St to Edward St).
Once the project is complete the parking spaces will be wider than the minimum requirements, and line markings will be added to the road to assist people to adjust to the 45-degree angled parking. The removal of the existing trees will also result in additional carparks, not less.
WILL DELIVERIES STILL BE POSSIBLE ON BANK STREET DURING THE WORKS?
Yes, deliveries will be possible for businesses during all stages of the construction works. Delivery vehicles will be able to park either in the 45-degree angled parking, or between tree plantings in the street centre, once they are installed.
