Representatives will form part of a Foreshore Advisory Committee and assist with the design of the Clyde River foreshore as part of the bridge replacement project.
Committee members will provide feedback to the project team and work with other project team members, the council and key local representatives to discuss proposed features of the plan, including parking and recreational areas, river access and landscaping and artwork around the foreshore.
The committee will meet a minimum of of once a month over the next six months until the start of major work in early 2019.
They will then meet on an a quarterly basis during construction.
To apply, visit rms.nsw.gov.au/batemansbaybridge or call the project team on 1800 870 119.
Applications close September 16, 2018.
Applications from landowners, residents, businesses and other stakeholder groups not directly impacted by the road corridor will be preferred as the RMS is seeking broad community representation.
Directly impacted stakeholders and groups will be consulted separately.
Start of bridge works
John Holland will start investigations of ground conditions and confirm locations of required utilities from late August until mid November 2018.
They will also observe vegetation conditions and local wildlife habitats and survey seagrass in and around the Clyde River.
You may notice these activities along the main road way and in the area around the location of the proposed new bridge and on the Clyde River.
There will be temporary traffic changes around these locations at times to ensure the safety of workers.
Setting up the site office is planned to start in late September and utilities will be relocated from later this year.
