See below – but nothing until THURSDAY

Good afternoon everyone,

In addition to the Melbourne Cup public holiday, over the next five days we will be observing a construction shutdown period which means that no construction works will be occurring onsite until next Thursday 3 November.

With a short week, this will be a brief summary of activities for next week. That being said, there will be works occurring at the end of next week including some out of hour works with an overview of these activities outlined below.

Anzac Station entrance construction – Tram Interchange

When construction activities recommence next Thursday, works will continue surrounding the tram platform including trenching to install drainage and conduits for electrical and communication services to the platform.

Glass balustrades will be installed around the central mezzanine overlooking the underground station box and works on the canopy fascia and under flashing to the skylights will continue.

Cladding will be applied to the external surface of the kiosk and internal services to the kiosk will continue to be installed.

These works surrounding the tram platform and kiosk will continue out of normal construction hours until 10pm on weekdays and until 6pm on Saturdays, to ensure that critical works to the tram platform are complete for the start of tram realignment works in November.

Surface Works

Next week, between 8pm, Thursday 3 November and 5am Friday 4 November, the team will be shifting concrete barriers along the southbound lane of St Kilda Road to provide new access points into the construction site.

To undertake these works safely, this will require a closure of the southbound lane of St Kilda Road between Dorcas Street and Toorak Road and will need to occur overnight, outside of high traffic periods.

Through the centre of the construction site, works to install tram tracks and tram infrastructure such as overhead poles will continue in the preparation for the tram realignment works in November.

At the northern and southern ventilation and services shafts, waterproofing, backfilling and installation of utility services will recommence next week.

Around the perimeter surfaces of the structures, cladding will be installed. Due to recent inclement weather, works on and around these structures will continue outside of normal construction hours until 10pm on weekdays and 6pm on Saturdays.

Station box construction

Within the lower levels of the station box, finishing elements of blockwork installation are almost complete and fit out works are continuing.

Mechanical, electrical and plumbing works are continuing and works to fitout the lifts and vertical transportation are underway.

Shrine Entrance

Next week at the Shrine entrance over near Domain Road we will continue steel fixing for the new section of the top-down roof. Once the roof is installed, the main excavation down to the future base slab will commence.

Regards, Rob and Christian

You are advised that the associated building works need to occur on with a dry run
involving a crane set up on 03/11/2022 from 7am till 6pm and as such this notice
serves as information of the likely impact of this activity.
These works are a component of the refurbishment at 412 St Kilda Road. The works
involve the use of a mobile crane operating from 7am – 6pm and will result in a full
road closure. The machinery will operate for 1 day – During normal construction
hours.
In case of inclement weather or unforeseen delays, if we are not able to set up on
these dates the set up may occur on 26/10/2022 and 27/10/2022
Although the works are substantial, every very effort will be made to minimize impact
to businesses and the general public. The following treatments will apply:
• Pedestrian access will be maintained via opposite footpath(s)
• Access to building car parks are to be maintained
• Access to all properties will be maintained.
The refurbishment works for this site was never going to be an easy task however,

apologises for any inconvenience that may be caused.
Although the works will be difficult for local traders and residents, your co-operation
will be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

There are some orange poles out the front that mark the divide between the tram tracks and the road. Some days I go out and see that a few are missing or strewn about.

I’ve sometimes wondered how it happens – now I know

A very detailed pack below. Some details

• The VERY noisy occupation period will be from 1am Sunday November 27
• The first 2-3 days will be the worst, but all three weeks will be noisy and 24*7 hour
• There will be no trams operational and a bus replacement system. We will get more detail closer to the time
• The cladding on our vents may happen before the occupation
• If we have a lot of wet weather, then we there may be overnight work in the period November 7-19

Also worth noting is the efforts with new trees. You can see from this image that there will be trees on the platform

To assist their growth (on top of the concrete station roof) they have installed what is called Strata Vault. See below.

Will be done by 10pm – just talked to them and checked
