The general scope of works included modification and addition of dedicated bus lane for the PTA. Works included earthworks, drainage, pavement construction, electrical modification, landscaping, brick paving, Western Power supervision, and works within the PTA Rail corridor.
BELMONT PARK STAGE 1 WORKS
