Overview
Randwick City Council is undertaking an assessment of 511km of the city’s network of footpaths and shared access ways. Inspection work will begin Monday 4 February 2019 and last approximately four weeks.
How’s this happening:
- These activities are undertaken by council’s asset inspection contractor, Infrastructure Management Group, as an asset management initiative to obtain detailed video imaging and condition assessment of the city’s footpath assets.
- You may observe quad bike style inspection vehicles travelling on public footways around your work, residences or other locations within the city during this period.
- The assessment vehicles are operated by certified pavement inspectors travelling at a brisk walking pace. Hazard lighting & other warning devices will be in operation while completing assessment and video recording activities of footpaths, cycle ways and shared access ways.
- Vehicles are clearly identifiable and operators will be vigilant and yield where ever possible to the needs of the pedestrian public.
- We thank you for your tolerance during this brief period of shared amenity access and look forward to providing the benefits of this exercise.
