Notice of Works - Bald Hills Road Mount Barker - Night Works

Night works on Bald Hills Road will be starting soon as part of GMB Water’s Eastern Sewer Trunk Main Project.

From Sunday 31 May, lanes will be partially closed at times near Scarborough Way for preparatory works with full trunk main construction expected to follow within the week.

Once full construction is underway, Bald Hills Road will be fully closed between Green Avenue and Scarborough Way from 7pm and 6am Sunday to Thursday nights.

During this time, light vehicles - including cars, small vans and utes - will be detoured via Green Avenue → Tate Avenue → Scarborough Way and via Scarborough Way → Penny Street → Green Avenue.

Heavy vehicle drivers will need to contact UHF 28 for directions when approaching the work zone.

Bald Hills Road will reopen daily between 6am and 7pm, with speed restrictions in place, to minimise impacts during peak travelling times.

Signage will be in place, and traffic controllers will be on site, to guide motorists safely through the area.

The nightly road closure between Green Avenue and Scarborough Way is expected to remain in place until August 2026 - weather and ground conditions permitting.

This upgrade is part of a long-term investment in the network and will deliver:

• increased capacity for current wastewater needs and future growth
• improved environmental protection by reducing the risk of leaks and overflows
• fewer service disruptions over time through modern, lower-maintenance infrastructure

GMB Water understands Bald Hills Road is a busy road and appreciates your patience while this upgrade is completed.
