Dear St Ignatius College community,
You will have noticed that construction of the Drysdale Bypass is well underway. Over the coming weeks you will notice even more progress being made.
Blue gum removal
From Monday, 29 October 2018, works to remove a portion of the blue gums near the school boundary along Andersons Road, will begin to make way for the new bypass. Only trees required to build the road will be removed and a strip of gums will remain to provide a good level of cover between the school and the road.
To offset tree removal the Major Road Projects Authority (MRPA) has a landscaping plan in place, developed in partnership with Bellarine LandCare, to revegetate the area with native flora.
Please be assured that the work is being conducted to the very highest standards of safety and care, and to ensure minimal disruption.
Earthworks
Earthmoving and levelling activities for the bypass will continue over the coming weeks.
Water carts and dust monitoring equipment will be in place to ensure dust from truck and scraper movements is kept to a minimum.
Safety fencing
Temporary fencing will be installed along the school boundaries this week. The temporary fencing will be replaced by a permanent fence prior to the project completion.
