TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT: 

7am-10am: AIRLIE ROAD – HOW TO ACCESS THE INTERSECTION OR AVOID IT WHILE WORKS ARE TAKING PLACE

o    Or use the main access to access Plimmerton at the Steyne Avenue traffic lights

  • Access north or south onto the state highway from Airlie Road
  • Left or right turns – traffic controllers will stop and hold vehicles until it is safe to wave you through

UP TO 2 DAYS FOLLOWINGTHE WORKS:  

  • A temporary speed restriction will be in place following the works while the chips bed into the new seal

The government has changed the legislation on incorporated societies (The Incorporated Societies Act 2022, passed on 6 April 2022), and this has some impact on both the Residents’ Association’s constitution and some of our practices. As a result, we need to change the constitution and have the changes approved by the Annual General Meeting on 11 October 2023.
