Initial work will involve relocating various services across the project area, including electricity, gas, water, sewer and communications.
Major service relocation work will take place along Botany Road and Wentworth Avenue over a period of about 12 weeks.
Service relocation work will take about 12 weeks to complete, weather permitting.
