Dear
Mr Halliday

I refer to your letter concerning
access to the MacDonaldtown Stabling Project site.

The City has no objection in principle to a small number of
trucks accessing the MacDonaldtown Stabling Project site via local residential
roads during the initial portion of the construction program when installing
safety barriers and constructing the temporary new link road off Erskineville Road. 

The
above trucks must only use the City
Road/Darlington Road/Golden Grove/Wilson Street/Burren Street
route to access the site as these particular streets are wider than most other
streets in this area.  

The
use of this route is subject to the following conditions:

  • Trucks can only use
    this route during standard construction hours ie 7.00am – 5.00 pm Monday
    to Friday and 7.00am – 3.00 pm Saturdays.
  • All truck drivers
    must comply with any directive of the City’s Law Enforcement Officers and
    NSW Police.
  • A copy
    of this authorisation must be retained on-site, and a copy placed on the
    dashboard of each truck coming to the site.
  • The City reserves
    the right to cancel this approval at any time.

Please
note that once the new link road off Erskineville
Road has been completed then all trucks going to
or from the MacDonaldtown Stabling Project site must utilize this new link road
and NOT use any of the nearby residential streets. In any exceptional
circumstances where use of the link road is not possible, separate approval
must be sought from Council for one off use of an alternative route

Should you require any further
information regarding this matter, please contact Joseph Gomes on É 9246 7588.

Yours sincerely

Col Warne
Senior
Transport Manager
