The construction of Bong Bong Common Stage 1A, 1B and 2 pose several logistical challenges given the complex nature of the project, staging and extent of works.
Lamond Contracting proposes to establish construction sites on multiple fronts in a staged approach. This will ensure a successful outcome for the project whilst maintaining safety, quality and environmental management and provide minimal disturbance and inconvenience to the community.
During the construction phase, Council will work collaboratively with the principal contractor to provide regular updates and guidance on closures to the walking track and associated car parking. We appreciate the inconvenience this may cause some users and ask that you work with the relevant bodies to ensure the successful completion of this exciting project.
Closure of car parking off Moss Vale Road and paved sections of Bong Bong Common
During the construction works, full closure of the unpaved car park at the entry off Moss Vale Road and next to the Cecil Hoskins Nature Reserve access track was required, including any access point to the walking track. Upgrades to this car park have been completed and it was re-opened on the 10th of November 2023.
The track can also be accessed via Cecil Hoskins Nature Reserve, or by entering the path at Suttor Road Moss Vale, Phillip Street Burradoo, Hurlingham Avenue Burradoo, or Railway Road Burradoo.
Project funding
This project is jointly funded by the NSW Government through the Public Spaces Legacy Program, 2020 Arts and Culture Grant funding, Stronger Country Communities Fund, and Wingecarribee Shire Council funding.
Latest update - December 2023
We are busy putting the finishing touches on the new toilet block and play space at Bong Bong Common and expect to open it to the public within the next week or so. Then our Contractor, Lamond Contracting, will be back in January 2024 to complete the two viewing platforms on the river bank and install the directional and interpretive signage.
We are also working closely with Transport for NSW to obtain the final approvals to commence work on a dedicated left hand turn lane for south bound traffic and right hand turn lane for north bound traffic entering the Bong Bong Common from Moss Vale Road. Works for the intersection upgrade are programmed for early 2024.
