Lone Pine Ave work to continue

Central Coast Council will start rebuilding Lone Pine Ave between Haynes Ave and Ocean Beach Rd during November.

The work, costing more than $1 million, will alleviate nuisance road flooding, according to council administrator Mr Ian Reynolds

Council has accepted a tender from Kerroc Constructions Pty Ltd to upgrade the street drainage system between Haynes Ave and Ocean Beach Rd, prior to Council carrying out road reconstruction works.

The drainage works will commence in November and carry through to the end of 2016.

Some $380,000 will be spent on these drainage improvement works, which will mean $650,000 of road reconstruction works can go ahead in February 2017.

These will include kerb and gutter, footpath and new road pavement.

Council administrator Mr Ian Reynolds said the upgrade of Lone Pine Ave would greatly benefit residents.

"Council is committed to investing in the community and the improvement of our roads is an important part of this," Mr Reynolds said.

"There has been flooding in the Umina area and these works will help reduce the impact nuisance flooding will have on this road and make it safer for our residents.

"Improving road drainage and road reconstruction makes our roads safer for the community."

According to a report from the council's Department of Assets, Infrastructure and Business, the reconstruction of Lone Pine Ave commenced in February 2015 with staged works continuing until October 2015 which saw works completed between Carpenter St and Haynes Ave.

"The next stage of works is planned to upgrade the street drainage system and carry out road reconstruction between Haynes Ave and Ocean Beach Rd."
