Road works to begin at busy Addington intersection
A busy Addington intersection is going to be dug-up over the coming weeks to replace a century-old stormwater pipe.
The intersection of Brougham St and Selwyn St will be disrupted whilst the pipe first laid in 1912 is replaced.
The work will start Monday, September 28.
About 185 metres of stormwater pipe needs to be replaced. Council's plan is to carry out the work in stages over the next four to five months.
Some of the road works may be carried out at night to minimise the impact on traffic.
This could mean temporary night-time lane closures on Brougham St.
Two lanes of traffic on will be maintained during the day on Brougham St.
Access to local businesses and community facilities will be maintained throughout the pipe replacement work, council says.
Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?
As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙
One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.
So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?

60% Yes, supporting people is important!

25.7% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
14.3% ... It is complicated

With more wild weather on the cards, we’re curious: do you have a go-to adverse-weather checklist for your family? Or are you more of a “grab the torches and hope for the best” household?
-
44.4% Yes - we like to be prepared

38.9% Nah

16.7% This is on my to-do list!
