August 2023
Tonkin Consulting has been engaged to assist with project design and documentation.
EBS Ecology has recently undertaken a high-level corridor vegetation assessment to help guide the design process and ensure as much existing remnant vegetation is retained as possible.
It is expected that the project design will be completed over the next 3 months with the project tendered to the market in late 2023. Project construction is scheduled to be undertaken in early-mid 2024.
