Intersection upgrades at Paradise and Webberley streets

The extensive upgrade project will begin in late January 2024, and finish in December 2024, weather permitting.

The project will include installing traffic signals at the intersection of Paradise and Webberley streets and incorporating designated slip lanes onto and off Webberley St.

Additional lanes will be added through the intersection on Paradise Street to facilitate two lanes for through traffic, both north bound and south bound.

There will also be signals for pedestrian access through the intersection for safety, and a designated bike lane.

A pathway will be built to connect to existing pathways in Paradise Street, Webberley Street and the bus stop.

During the works, Webberley Street will be closed between Paradise and Simpson streets, with detours in place. Paradise Street will remain open throughout the works.

The existing bus stops and routes on Paradise and Webberley streets will have some changes, and temporary bus stops will be implemented for commuters. Signage will be installed at the existing bus stops detailing the location of the temporary bus stops and timeframes for their use.

Prior to work beginning, the removal of trees along Paradise Street will be necessary to allow for the construction. This is expected to be undertaken in late January, 2024.

Trees will be replaced with native species along the Paradise Street pathway.

There will be some minor noise and dust disturbances due to various plant and equipment that will be used on site.

Council apologises for any inconvenience caused and appreciates your patience during these essential improvement works.
