Project Tower Crane Installation

Dear neighbour,

Please be advised that Hamilton Marino will be installing a tower crane at 2 Bowen crescent, on 9th May 2025

To enable this installation to take place, there may be some minor disruptions to traffic on Bowen Crescent

Whilst the majority of the installation will take place within the site boundary, a full traffic management team will be in place to ensure that all neighbours and residents adjacent the works, are able to safely access where they need to go.

We appreciate your patience and cooperation on the day, and apologise for any inconvenience that may be experienced.

Please do not hesitate to contact me on the below email in the first instance, with any queries or issues.

Regards,
Jeremy Fleming
